If you're from Baltimore, you know that "The Iron Man" is Orioles great, Cal Ripken, Jr. And you also know "The Castle" is the nickname for the Ravens complex in Owings Mills, MD. Ripken had a sit down lunch with Ravens Minority Owner Art Modell. While it's unclear why Cal was there, my guess is, because he's a MD boy and loves the Ravens just like other Bawlmorians.

What I REALLY hope, is that Cal is picking Modell's brain and reporting all of his newfound knowledge back to Orioles owner Peter Angelos. Lord knows, the O's need a spark of any kind. Hopefully Cal has the key.
