there you go.

I barely remember the 83 WS (I was 3 at the time) but my Dad had already taken a liking to Cal Ripken and it really rubbed off on me....

Cal caught the final out that year.

I live in Rochester, which was home to the O's AAA affiliate for 40+ years until the Angelos Administration drove us to Minnesota. I recall leaving school early on Opening Day 1982 to attend the Rochester Red Wings home opener with my Dad. Ripken (playing 3rd at that time) hit a homer that day ... I hope to attend Cal's Hall of Fame induction with Dad next year (is that right?).
