Digging around in my parents’ basement today in search of leftover Cal Ripken Jr paraphernalia. Left mostly with dust bunnies on my pants, but found this — circa 1996.

I thought this was Cal Ripken Jr as the Silver Surfer as I was scrolling.

Fascinating that this is the pose they chose for him, rather than having him swinging a bat or catching a line drive or something. I know when I think of Cal, I think of his base running prowess!

When you are that slow and you hit 600+ doubles, that’s probably lots of slides into second!

while we were searching for stuff, my mom pulled out a Justice League comic from probably the 90s and my 75-year-old father said, "Put that carefully back in the drawer. Don't touch it again. The market's down right now."
