Bring up Ryan Ripken!

[NelsonCruuuuuz]

Not now of course but I want to see him in an Orioles uniform this year! Who’s with me? 

[DrungoHazewood]

No.  The Orioles don't need their own Marc Sullivan.

But what if he's baby Yaz all over again?

As a September callup when the team is 35 games out of first place and looking to steal a headline away from the Ravens, sure, why not. Give him an at bat or two.

Same list of reasons why you don't put a random fan in the game.

If we're going to go all St. Paul Saints on the league, then I also want a game where they pick a fan to play RF for an inning, and they bring Chuck Estrada back to pitch an inning at 83.

Also, give the fans a bunch of flashcards and have them manage the game.  Alright Section 34... do we bunt or swing away?  Bunt!  Yeaaaahhh!

That's why I'm in favor of giving everyone the O's sign to a pro contract 300 plate appearances or 50 innings in the majors.  Just in case.

He’s gotta be better than Chris Davis

Actually that would be a fascinating experiment

At the very least if you can prove you're a blood relative of a HOF player then you get a late season call up to the show.

Really?  I can just see you whining about that the next day.  Off with their heads!

He's in AAA so they are probably aware of him and have plans to call him up at some point. Its probably not a big deal In September.

The game could use a little Bill Veeck.
