Twenty five years ago yesterday Cal Ripken, playing in his 2,131st game, broke Lou Gehrig’s streak of consecutive games played (click here.) My first thought was “25 years ago? I am soooo old.”
My second thought was to track down a print that my sister Lila and her husband Dan Hofmeister gave me sometime after Cal broke the record. Here is that print titled Chesapeake Feast done by Jonathan W. Brown (click here.)
As to why I had to try and track it down, I had forgotten just where my framed copy of it was hanging. As you can see in the photo here, it is in a not-so-noticeable place on the back side of a center column in the Ridgell Hacienda. Since I seem to recall that I had it hanging up in the kitchen, leads me to think that Pam just may not have been as keen on it as I am.
