Cal Ripken Jr. would be interesting in buying the Orioles if Peter Angelos decides to sell the team. Ripken Professional Baseball has owned the Class-A Aberdeen Ironbirds of the New York-Penn League since 2002 and the Class-A Augusta GreenJackets of the South Atlantic League since 2005. There has been speculation that Ripken would want to own the Orioles and he was asked Wednesday about a possible purchase at the Hall of Fame news conference.
