Cal wants to own the O's?

An early report by Fox News says that Cal Ripken has held talks with Orioles owner Peter Angelos about buying the franchise! This was, of course, countered by Angelos who said that no such talks have taken place, that his reign over the Orioles was total, etc.—but that Cal would be a nice candidate to have, should he (Angelos) ever want to sell the O's.

Of course, Cal would have to meet the $450 million minimum sale value that Angelos extorted negotiated with MLB after the arrival of the Nationals, but let me say this much: if Cal Ripken bought the Orioles, I'd be the first in line at Camden Yards to welcome him back!!! I grew up under the heroics of Cal Ripken, and can't think of anyone better suited to own the team. I also believe that he'd be very friendly to the neighboring Nationals, my beloved home team, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that one day—hopefully soon!—Cal Ripken can own the team.
