Cal Ripken's mom held up with gun

Betallsports · Oct 15, 2013

[h=3]ABERDEEN, Md. (AP)[/h] Police say a man with a handgun approached baseball great Cal Ripken's mother in a bank parking lot in Maryland and demanded her car, but she activated a key alarm and he left.

Authorities say 75-year-old Vi Ripken wasn't hurt Tuesday and a suspect is now in custody.

Police spokesman Lt. Frederick Budnick says Ripken entered the bank afterward to alert authorities in her hometown of Aberdeen, north of Baltimore.

The spokesman says charges are pending. He didn't immediately identify the suspect.

Last year, Vi Ripken reported being kidnapped at gunpoint from her Aberdeen home. She returned unharmed 24 hours later. No one has been arrested in the case.

Hall of Fame infielder Cal Ripken played in 2,632 consecutive games in a 21-year career with the Baltimore Orioles.

REALLY!!!!!,are you serious?? i know if my mom was alive and held up being robbed i would be with her not at a baseball game in which your not even playing in....you only get one set of parents and thats it,so im not sure how you get along with your parents if alive but to me your silly or just ignorant.i wish my parents were around to take care of i know that but i must care much more than you do about family........who knows maybe your from a broken home and just don't know any better

I'll agree with Key here... if it was me, even if I was him... I wouldn't be at the Game.

It's my Mom... and she's 75 to boot. Family comes first

I have 2 great parents thanks... I dont know if one of them being held up would justify missing work? She was held up, not murdered. You think he should have been on the first plane out of LA to be with his mom who was held up? Sorry that is ridiculous to me. A phone call is all that is needed in that situation.

Time for Ripken to hire some sort bodyguard for his mom,before something truly tragic happens to her.

You would think the Ripkens would have enough money to get their mom to a better area. Must be ghetto town around there.
