Orioles Send Ripken To Hall In Style

With the numbers 2-6-3-2 posted on the warehouse beyond the right-field wall at Camden Yards, Cal Ripken Jr. gripped the baseball and threw the ceremonial first pitch toward home plate. Eddie Murray caught it, walked toward Ripken, shook his hand and accepted a hug. One member of the Hall of Fame embracing someone slated to join the exclusive fraternity on Sunday.

Re: Orioles Send Ripken To Hall In Style

I'll be watching this weekend...Ripken was always one of my favorite players growing up (was one of the reasons I was a Orioles fan as a kid). That Ripken/Alomar DP combo was slick and solid.

And oh yeah, that other dude going in this weekend...he was pretty good too.

Cool Re: Orioles Send Ripken To Hall In Style

You know, I don't know why, but I'm getting sick of hearing about Ripken all the time. Just go to the Hall, already.

Re: Orioles Send Ripken To Hall In Style

If anything, I haven't seen enough mention of the Hall of Fame inductions this year.

Maybe that's becuase I barely watch ESPN anymore (that network has gone down the youknowhat lol).

Re: Orioles Send Ripken To Hall In Style

Good story over a Yahoo! about one Baltimore Ironman ending his streak to honor another: "Baltimore Orioles umpire's attendant Ernie Tyler will end his consecutive games streak on Saturday to attend the Hall of Fame Induction of former Orioles-great Cal Ripken Jr., who owns the all-time record for consecutive games played at 2,632... Tyler, who has worked every Orioles game since Opening Day 1960, was scheduled to leave for Cooperstown, New York, on Saturday morning."
