Hall of Famer Cal Ripken Jr. denied Monday that Orioles managing partner Peter Angelos said he didn't want Ripken to get credit for any success the club would have if Ripken were brought on board. "First I want to say that Mr. Angelos never said that he didn't want me to get credit for any success that the club might have. That's just not true. I have had a very good relationship with Peter for a long time," Ripken said in a statement. It was reported over the weekend that Angelos denied Ripken's request for a front office position in Baltimore. In the statement, Ripken said that he has met with Andy MacPhail and Angelos on "a number of occasions." "I have enjoyed those talks very much, and yes the subject has been broached about me potentially joining the organization. I look forward to those talks continuing," Ripken said.
