Grew up an Orioles fan; mainly because my city's baseball team was Baltimore's Triple AAA affiliate for years - the Rochester Red Wings. I saw Murray & Ripken, Baylor, Grich, Mussina, Shilling & Boddicker. And who can forget honey-bear -- Floyd Rayford or P.J. Forbes.
Well, I'm still in Rochester, NY. The O's are out & the Twins are in. They've only been here a few years & I've seen a lot of very good players -- Morneau, Mauer, Liriano, Cuddyer and well most of the Twins of today.
I love baseball & watch every single O's game thanks to Extra Innings Baseball package.
I spent Sunday 07/29/07 (my 1-year wedding anniversary) in Cooperstown, NY with a lot of people I don't know, celebrating the enshrinement of Cal Ripken, Jr.
My wife allowed me to name our dog Ripken, meaning now I can't name any of my children after my favorite player. I thought Ripken would have been a great middle name, but my dog enjoys it, plus it rolls off the tongue better than Markakis -- my original choice.
I love the Orioles and I swear, there will be NO sleep for weeks when we get another ring.
