Ripken on Dan Patrick show

 

 

   In case you missed it, Cal was on Dan Patrick's show last week. Of course the topic of managing a pro team came up. My favorite quote is this:

       Patrick asked  "Why don’t you put it out there that you’re ready to manage?’” Ripken said. “I said, ‘Because that’s not who I am.’ . . . He said, ‘I’ll put it out there for you,’ and I said, ‘I wouldn’t want to manage just anywhere.’ It’s kind of funny, the reaction that followed.”

 

     That could mean two things. 1) He only wants to manage the Nats. Or, 2) he only wants to manage the O's. But because Buck will be with the Orioles for the foreseeable future, I'd go with the first thought. 

Here's more on the topic.
