Quick Hits - Late Edition

* Baltimore talk radio station, WBAL has an article on their website called “Can Cal Ripken Make History” which ponders will Cal Ripken, Jr. be the first player voted into the Hall of Fame unanimously. Baltimore Sun writer Peter Schmuck, and former Orioles Brooks Robinson and Jim Palmer give their point of view.

* Give Spender Fordin’s interview on MLB.com a listen. Click on the link: http://www.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/scripts/mediaplayer/mp_tpl.jsp?w_id=529977&w=2006/open/teams06/bal/mlbr/010507_fordin_spencer.wma&pid=gen_audio&vid=7764&mid=200701051774006&cid=mlb&fid=gen_audio12&v=2&mType=w&urlstr=&murl= . He talks about the cancellation of Fanfest, the Aubrey Huff deal and the outlook for the Orioles next year. He sounds fairly positive about the team in ’07.

* If you are going to Spring Training, the Orioles have tickets on sale now.

* A reminder that the Orioles have regular season single game tickets on sale on Jan.14th at 10am.

Stuffage:

* Felipe Alou will be working in the San Francisco Giants front office. He’ll be a special assistant to general manager Brian Sabean.

* Washington Post writer Tom Boswell weighs in on the Mark McGwire saga. He cannot vote to induct players into the Hall of Fame, since the Washington Post does not allow it’s writers to vote on awards, but he would abstain from voting considering all the issues involved.
