Hall of Famer Cal
Ripken Jr. signs
gloves for children
indoors at Camden
Yards. Ripkens trip
to Baltimore was the
final stop of the Play
Ball Tour for Kids.
The program, sponsored
by the Cal Ripken
Sr. Foundation,
visited 27 cities in
the Midwest and on
the East Coast to promote
crime prevention
and baseball as
a way to link children
and adults, particularly
law-enforcement
officials.
