Barry was great, but saying he starts for every team is a huge insult to Cal Ripken Jr.
Larkin was a better fielder with more range than Ripken, and a much better base runner. Barry would have had another 5 or 6 gold gloves if Ozzie Smith wasn’t surfing off of past glory and theatrical backflips.
Larkin and Ripken’s hitting is mostly a wash, but Ripken had more power.
