A streak longer than Ripken's is about to end in Baltimore
Quote:
Another Orioles streak ending this weekend
Ernie Tyler to miss his first home game to see Ripken's induction
By Patrick Gutierrez
Sun Reporter
July 27, 2007
Cal Ripken Jr. is not the only "Iron Man" around Camden Yards.
But the Hall of Fame-bound shortstop is playing a central role in the ending of another consecutive-games streak.
Ernie Tyler, the Orioles' umpires attendant, has not missed a home game since 1960, the year he got the job. That streak, which stands at 3,770 regular-season games heading into tonight, is about to end, as Tyler will miss the last two games of the series with the New York Yankees to attend Ripken's induction into the Hall of Fame.
Tyler, 83, is going to Cooperstown, N.Y., as Ripken's guest, an honor he said was more important than his simply coming to work every day. He said the streak is not something that enters his mind, except when other people talk to him about it.

Cal is still my favorite player of all time. God Bless you Cal. (for getting out before they caught you doping.)

And if I keep doing the same gig I do for Ohio State for the next 30 years, I'll be a happy loser who has attended 280 Ohio State football games for free.
Put that in your pipe and smoke it

At least he gets to see baseball games. I'm stuck at my job, and I don't even get to make personal phone calls!
