Friday Bird Droppings: Where we’re thankful Cal is okay

Good morning, Camden Chatters.

Usually I begin Bird Droppings with some no-doubt brilliant observations about the latest Orioles performance on the field. But this time we must first turn our attention to a much more important story that dropped a few hours before yesterday’s game. Orioles legend Cal Ripken Jr. revealed on a Zoom media call that he was diagnosed with prostate cancer in February and — thankfully — has fully recovered after having surgery in March.

Whew. Even knowing he’s OK now, chills ran down my spine when I heard that news.
