The Ironman Cometh

Cal Ripken Jr. was nice enough, with a splashier wit than you might expect from a Hall of Fame athlete who played in 2,131 consecutive games. He told me that he's going through a midlife crisis, "but all that's off the record, muchacho." The woman taking this picture screwed up the first two attempts (there was too much light behind us, as you can see). Before each shot, I heard Cal say, under his breath, to himself: "Cheeeeeese".
