Baltimore Newborn Named For Ripken

At least one baby in Baltimore has been named in honor of Orioles shortstop Cal Ripken.

Cali Drouillard was born moments after the Tuesday night game in which Ripken tied Lou Gehrig’s 2,130 consecutive game record.

Kimberly Drouillard says the name was her husband Don’s idea.

“He’s a big fan of the Orioles and he likes Cal Ripken a lot,” she said today. “Her name was supposed to be Alexia.”

Cali was born at 7:38 p.m. (EST).
