Cal Ripken Sr. was a longtime person in the Baltimore Orioles franchise. He was born on December 17, 1935. He died on March 25, 1999. Him and his wife have a daughter; Eileen; three sons; Cal Jr. Fred, and Bill; and six grandchildren. While he was on the Orioles franchise he was a player, scout, coach, and manager.
His sport career was for 36 years. He was a manger for three years, but in one of those years he was fired after six games, which is the current record. In 1987, he was the first one that coached two of his own sons. Those two sons were Jr. and Bill.
Cal Sr. has other records too. He has the record for: most consecutive games most consecutive seasons with 150+ games, and most seasons leading the league. His family right now is living happily in Maryland. If you want to learn more on him check ripkenbaseball.com.
Cal Jr. has also done many interesting things. He broke Lou Gehrig’s record of 2130 games played. He played under his fathers coaching. While he played shortstop, his brother Bill played second base.
Cal Jr. said this in his thank you speech about his father: "... Let me start by thanking my dad. He inspired me with his commitment to the Oriole tradition and made me understand the importance of it. He not only taught me the fundamentals of baseball, but also he taught me to play it the right way, and to play it the Oriole way. From the very beginning, my dad let me know how important it was to be there for your team and to be counted on by your teammates."
