Darren Rovell talks with the man known for being Cal Ripken’s brother but more so for being on one of the more notorious baseball cards of the last 20 years. You know, pretty anything but being a baseball player. To Ripken’s credit, he does seem to have a good sense of humor about the whole thing:
Fleer sent me some of the cards out of the goodness of their heart. I autographed them and used them for my gifts to my groomsman in my wedding (which took place that offseason). I figured, at the time, it was better than giving them a set of cufflinks. I think I devalued the cards by signing them though.
