I’m thrilled to bring you one of our all-time most downloaded episodes: my interview with Cal Ripken Jr., originally released on January 4, 2022.
If you’re new to Lost Ballparks, this is the perfect chance to catch up on a conversation that has become a cornerstone of the show. Cal shares incredible stories about the American League ballparks he played in during his career, the advice Reggie Jackson gave him that pulled him out of his first big league slump, and what it was like to play under the watchful eyes of his father and Earl Weaver.He also talks about a memorable exchange with Johnny Bench on the back porch of the Otesaga Hotel in Cooperstown, the two pieces of memorabilia he treasures most, and, of course, the streak that made him a baseball icon.
