Okay, I have one for you. The best SS I ever was on the same field with was Robert Bonner, from Corpus Christi, Tx. Bonner was a D1 All American and made it to the big leagues with the Orioles. Was their starting SS until he got hurt, which opened the door for........... (wait for it) .... Cal Ripken!

And lo and behold they were both featured on Ripken's regular set 1982 Rookie card.
