Ring of honor

The only one since Cal is Manny, and he wasn't here long enough to qualify for a statue even if he ends up in Cooperstown.

I was lucky enough to see the Hall of Famers come through Baltimore. I was even in Cooperstown watching Frank get inducted. But it occurs to me that at the ripe old age of 54, I probably won't live long enough to see another Orioles Hall of Famer unless it comes from the current crop of prospects, (e.g. Rutschman.) If you factor in a 15-20 year career, and five years of waiting to go into the Hall, it will be a long long time before there is another Orioles statue out in center field.

I was also there for Frank’s induction. He promised not to talk as long as Happy Chandler’s marathon speech; he lied. 😄

Frank wasn’t even the headliner, going in with Hank Aaron.

I remember Frank talking about that. He talked about always finishing second to Aaron for his whole career, but "I'm going into the Hall of Fame fifteen minutes before him."
