Pictures: Orioles Defeated Twins, 5-4, Cal Ripken Visits the Yard...

05-07-09: Minnesota Twins vs. Baltimore Orioles
Here are some photos from last night's Minnesota-Baltimore game where we eecked out a narrow victory. Lou Montanez singled in Mora in the bottom of the eighth inning and then George "The Brim Reaper" Sherrill looked liked the closer of old for one night getting Justin Morneau to fly out with Joe Mauer on first base.

There was also a special guest at the Yard last night -- 'the Ironman' Cal Ripken. He sat right behind home plate observing the action and stayed until about the eighth inning. Well, he was flanked by ushers throughout the game; therefore, there was little to no interaction between and fans. However, during a break between innings, there was a nice little video vignette of Cal Ripken's career and he acknowledged the faithful at Camden Yards once it was done.

Cool to always see him in the stands taking in a ball game with his busy schedule.
