Billy Ripken
William Oliver Ripken (born December 16, 1964), nicknamed Billy The Kid,〔Rosenfeld, p. 123〕 is an American former infielder in Major League Baseball from – for the Baltimore Orioles (1987–92, '96), Texas Rangers (1993-94, '97), Cleveland Indians (1995), and Detroit Tigers (1998). He is tall and weighs . During his career, he batted and threw right-handed. He is the younger brother of Hall of Famer Cal Ripken, Jr.. He currently serves as a radio host for XM Satellite Radio and a studio analyst for MLB Network.
Born in Maryland, Ripken grew up traveling around the United States as his father, Cal, Sr., was a player and coach in the Orioles' organization. After attending Aberdeen High School, Ripken was drafted by the Orioles in the 11th round of the 1982 MLB Draft. He reached the major leagues in 1987, creating the first situation in baseball history that a father had managed two sons on the same team, as his brother played for the Orioles and his father, Cal Ripken, Sr., managed the team. Ripken was a light hitter better known for his fielding skills, although he led the Orioles in batting average with a .291 mark in 1990. He served as their starting second baseman most of his first stint with the team. After the Orioles released him following the 1992 campaign, he played with four other teams (including the Orioles in 1996), serving mostly as a utility infielder and never holding a starting role for very long. He played his final game in 1998 for the Detroit Tigers.
==Early life==
Ripken was born to Cal, Sr. and Violet "Vi" Ripken in Havre de Grace, Maryland. Though the Ripkens called Aberdeen, Maryland, their home, they were often on the move because of Cal, Sr.'s coaching duties with the Baltimore Orioles organization.〔Rosenfeld, p. 2〕 This gave Bill the chance to be around his father's teams.〔Rosenfeld, p. 6〕 He attended Aberdeen High School,〔Rosenfeld, pp. 10, 60〕 where he played baseball.〔Rosenfeld, p. 12〕 Over his final two seasons, he did not lose a single game as a pitcher, but the infield was where he planned to spend his career.〔Rosenfeld, p. 60〕
