Celebration Time

Besides, 1995 was the year Cal Ripken set the consecutive games record! I had forgotten what year that was but saw it in a newspaper write-up of the All-Star Game. I was at Camden Yard when they were counting down with less than ten games to go to tie or beat the record. I was also there the night Cal set an Orioles record for most total bases. (And was there when Eddie Murray hit his 500th home run--unfortunately the game had been rain delayed--the same storm that spawned Hurricane Fran in North Carolina--and I was starting to leave the ball park when Eddie Murray blasted one out. I had to watch him take a victory lap on a tv screen. That is, I watched Eddie on a tv screen--he didn't take his victory lap across a tv screen.)
