Cal Ripkin's 74-Year-Old Mother Kidnapped and Held for Almost 24 Hours!

She probably staged the whole thing herself just to get sympathy. She's old, is probably feeling taken for granted, neglected, ignored and unappreciated so she creates a gunman that makes everybody take notice of grandma for a change.

I told you The JACKSON mama, not the Ripken mama you moron!

Has Anthony Recker's butt put out a statement yet? If so, what did it say?

Did he take her to a spa?

Cal Ripken had the ASS OF LIFE. That's one thing he has in common with a Jackson (Janet).

I understand that the kidnappers wanted to hold Cal's mother not for any ransom money but to demand exclusive use of Cal's ass as a punching toy. I understand too that one of the kidnappers has a very small, flat ass and that Cal was supposed to have donated a piece of his ass to him in the world's first butt transplant. Yeah, this one goes out to all you fuckhead gym teachers who made life less than pleasant for the hapless, hopeless homos. 3 cheers for Ethel Merman and Ernest Borgnine, together again at last!!!! OK girls, I know it doesn't fit but go with it...work with me, PUH-leeeze....

He wanted revenge for Cal aborting his butt baby.

It's no Anthony Recker butt.

Ripken's ass is HUGE. He's at least two inches taller than Recker, and, in his day, was slimmer, and still had a gigantic shelf of a booty.

Thighs and ass

I hope she wasn't raped.

That's what Latoya has been up to, then!

Weren't there rumors that Cal Ripken was not quite as straight and mainstream as he made himself out to be?

R9, I still don't think it's as nice as Recker's. Nice but not as nice. Tastes vary.

His brother and former Oriole teammate Billy was more the rebel of the two. He's infamous for that rare baseball card where he's holding a bat with the phrase "Fuck Face" written in black marker on it, and I've heard he's a boozer. Cal, on the other hand, was always painted as the antithesis of that--the good, married man with kids who endorsed milk and Esskay hot dogs, and who came to work everyday for years and years.

I've always wondered about Cal's close relationship with known-gaydar pinger, former Oriole Brady Anderson. They were super-close as teammates and, recently, Brady and Cal traveled to Japan for some sort of baseball convention together. I bet they spent a lot of time "rekindling" their friendship.

Someone in a Cal/Mike Mussina thread here on DL recalled that he heard Cal hit on some guy at a baseball convention in the south or something.

Cal has a face that just screams "I live in the Castro and give happy ending massages for a living. "

Back in the day, there were rumors that Cal's wife had an affair (with Michael Bolton!) and there were a couple of arguments where the cops were called.

Actually, it's Kevin Costner. The urban legend goes that Cal caught his wife in the bed with Kevin, and promptly beat his ass for it. Because of the ruccus, he couldn't make it to the stadium in time for the game and, because the O's managers didn't want Cal's streak to end before he could break Gehrig's record, they caused a blackout at the ballpark which caused the game to be cancelled.

I wish! BOY, do I wish!

That's a weird one R18. How odd.

Let's look at it this way, yes Anthony Recker has a nice set of asscheeks that need to be spanked, fucked, flattened, mauled, etc., but does he/it have the experience of the Ripken ass? Cal's has been paddled, grabbed, swatted by fellow players, probably had many gooses (or is that "geese") and, dare I say it, a cockatoo?! Actually I haven't seen any pictures of Cal and his ass recently and he is 53 now compared to Anthony's 29. Maybe Cal's butt is flatter now due to wear and tear butt there is alot to be said for an older guy.

I often wonder if Brady Anderson has partaken of the Calus Rumpus...

ASS!

2 much booty in the pants

I agree with you to an extent, R21, but I think the shape and quality of Recker's ass now is better than that of Cal then.

This was right after the record-breaking game. Wonder what his thighs smelled like by then...

Cal and Billy, butt-to-butt on one of their life-size milk posters. Billy is hot too, but his butt isn't nearly as huge as Cal's.

Not to deviate from the "norm" butt I just thought I'd throw in that Pete Rose is another naughty ball player (all that illegal betting and so on) with an ample behind. He has also told about how he was always getting paddled growing up and I've always thought old Pete should have been paddled for his transgressions. After all, these guys make tons of money for playing a goddam kid's game, they should be more than willing, because of all their "advantages" to "take what comes" from those who pay their salaries, namely the "lowly" fan.

Cal had milk sponsors for many years. Milk companies put out life-size Cal posters with measurements running up the side of the poster so that kids could check their height and watch their growth.

Yes, R29, and I own every one of them. I have a couple of them hanging up on my bedroom walls. It's great waking up in the morning to Cal's ass right in my face.

I know!

I knew you guys batted for the same team!

R28, keep on posting. I appreciate your posts.

Up for original thread.

I can't say I know anything for sure, but having been a part of the Orioles "community" for years (games, message boards, etc), it seems to be pretty common knowledge that the Saint Cal image wasn't quite so true. I remember one rumor in particular was about how he used to get "serviced" in the bathroom of a restaurant in Baltimore. I assume this was by women since gender wasn't specified. I've never heard anything about gay dalliances. He has a glorious ass though.

The European vacation rumor, if I'm remembering right, was that Cal, Brady Anderson, and former Orioles pitcher Scott Erickson all went to Europe together.

R35, what else are you in the know about? Scott Erickson was a major stud back then, too. Imaging him, Cal and Brady, at their peaks in the looks dept., getting it on while on vacation. HOT.

By the way, I've heard from several sources that Cal's wife, Kelly, can be a real b-tch. Any truth to that one?

I wish I had interesting gossip for you, R36. Scott Erickson was gorgeous, I agree, but I only know of assorted stories of him sleeping around with women. Typical single guy baseball player stuff although I think today's players hide it better. There was a oft-repeated story about TV reporter Inga Hammond getting caught giving Erickson a bj in the bathroom of a Minneapolis bar. No idea if it was true. I have some vague memories of friends of friends getting hit on by him after a game or whatever (always women).

As for Brady, as far as I know he actually was bisexual...or if he wasn't "actually" bisexual, he at least hooked up with some women to make for some "my friend's friend 'dated' Brady" stories. The women he'd "go out" with were always blonde model types, including his baby mama...basically every woman he "dated" was a stereotypical beard type. Everything else I know about him has been posted here many times, like him living with his former lover Rene Gonzales, frequenting gay bars, and whatever else. No reports on what he's like in bed.

Cal...what you said about his wife rings a bell but I don't recall specifics. I'm sorry to report that I never heard anything about him cheating on her with men. He's so image conscious that if he ever did, he probably would have somehow managed to keep it quiet.

I wish someone with new gossip on these players or current players would find Datalounge and spill because I think we've had the same stuff swirling around for some time.

Agreed

Just received Cal's 2131 video in the mail and I'm watching it. Damn, that was one big, gorgeous shelf of an ass on that man.

I WANT TO SPANK CAL RIPKEN UNTIL HIS BOTTOM TURNS PURPLE AND HE CRIES UNCONTROLLABLY.

Newly released surveillance video shows the man suspected of kidnapping Hall of Fame baseball player Cal Ripken Jr.’s mother last week.

Vi Ripken, 74, was abducted at gunpoint from her home northeast of Baltimore the morning of July 24, and was found unharmed, bound and gagged in her car early the next day.

A tip led police to surveillance video that shows the suspect at a nearby store during the time Ripken was missing.

The surveillance video, from a store in Anne Arundel, Md., shows a man wearing dark pants, a white shirt, and a red and black baseball cap. The man fits the police department’s description of the suspect being white, tall, thin and in her 30s or 40s. Investigators have released a composite sketch of the suspect.

Police have found no motive in the kidnapping, nor any connection between the suspect and the Ripken family. The investigation is ongoing, and police are offering a $2,000 reward for any tips that lead to a conviction.

“We have no reason to believe that he’s not still armed and dangerous,” Police Lt. Fred Budnik said.

Police have not yet said whether they believe Vi Ripken’s kidnapping was at all connected to her famous son.

Get in line, R40.

He was on our local news this morning holding a press conference about this matter with his mother. He said he's not necessarily looking for justice, just closure. He also urged anyone with info to call in.

"He said he's not necessarily looking for justice, just closure."

Who would say that after their mother was kidnapped?!! It just doesn't sound right. There's something weird going on here.

I think what he really wants to know is why this guy did it. From what I've heard, the guy didn't know of Cal Ripken, let alone that he was Vi's son, so money likely wasn't the issue.

This isn't the first odd thing to happen to the Ripkens. Some years back, a man appeared naked and bleeding at Cal's front door. He had been kidnapped and shot, and the kidnappers left him in a field near Cal's house.

This was on NBC News tonight. It all just seems off. Why would someone seemingly randomly target an elderly woman in what appeared to be a Walmart?

I thought Vi was coming out of her house when he kidnapped her.

The Hall of Fame infielder, speaking publicly for the first time about the abduction, said he doesn't know why his 74-year-old mother, Vi, was kidnapped at gunpoint from her home outside Baltimore, blindfolded and driven around for nearly 24 hours. She was found unharmed in her car early the next morning, near her home.

Kidnapped = To ashamed to admit his mother has old timer's disease

You really think Vi imagined the whole thing?

There is a new article about this at deadspin. Apparently they still haven't found the kidnapper. I think they know who did it, and are keeping quiet for shady reasons

^So they can off the guy?
