Hall of Famer Cal Ripken Jr. joined Andy MacPhail in taking in the Orioles' 8-3 loss to the New York Yankees.

"I invited him out to a game, and he came," MacPhail said. "That's it. That's all you're going to get from me."

That such a thing took place obviously is not that big of a deal, but it certainly is interesting timing. Foxsports.com reported earlier this month that Orioles owner Peter Angelos rejected Ripken's proposal for a front office job working with MacPhail. Angelos denied the report.
