Good morning, Camden Chatters.
I don’t know about you, but the date Sept. 6 still holds a special place in my heart. No, it’s not my birthday (although that’s just four days away, so get shopping!). It’s not my daughter’s birthday. It’s not my anniversary. But it’s a date that’s forever intertwined with the lives of anyone who was an Orioles fan in the ‘90s, especially a young Orioles fan whose favorite player was Cal Ripken Jr.
It was 23 years ago today — Sept. 6, 1995 — that Cal broke a record once thought unbreakable by playing his 2,131st consecutive game, passing Lou Gehrig to achieve baseball immortality.
