With MLB currently playing no games, this seems like a good time to look back at a guy who played ALL of them. In this episode, author and Orioles fan Emily Guy Birken (End Financial Stress Now) joins me to discuss one of the most classic games of our youth: the night Cal Ripken Jr. broke Lou Gehrig's consecutive games played record on September 6, 1995. We dig deep on what Cal meant to baseball coming off of the 1994 strike and what he meant to Orioles fans as a homegrown symbol of pride in the city of Baltimore. It was one of the biggest feel good nights in baseball history at a time where everybody needed it the most. Huh...can't think of any comparisons to a single thing going on in present day America AT ALL. Nope. Not a one. This offseason is the only thing that's lasted longer than Ripken's victory lap. ALSO: Emily is doing a really cool thing and offering free financial consultations to anyone who needs one during the coronavirus pandemic. Visit her website for details.
