The night Cal Ripken TIED Lou Gehrig's record...


...(not the next night, that everyone remembers watching), they had a presentation for Cal after the game with various speakers, including Eddie Murray and others. Most gave pretty decent, brief talks with a story or two. Then Orioles owner Peter Angelos got up there. He's a lawyer and very long winded. And he started going on and on in what was supposed to be a tribute to Cal but somehow started talking about himself and his rising from poor roots to be the owner of the Orioles, and a bunch of unrelated stuff. He totally lost the crowd, people started booing after a while before he finally wrapped up, going about four times longer than any of the other presenters had.
