| 1990 Bowman #256 Billy Ripken |
When the Orioles called up Billy and started him at second base, he and his brother became only the forth pair of brothers to play the middle infield positions in a MLB game. (The others: Garvin and Granny Hamner, Eddie and Johnny O'Brien, and Frank and Milt Bolling.)
Never heard of the other pairs of brothers... but I remember how cool it was when the Ripkens took the field together.
ReplyDeleteFun coincidence: Today is Billy's birthday.
ReplyDeleteThat's pretty cool, I did not plan it that way!
DeleteI wonder what's written on the knob of his bat.
