The ownership of Cal Ripken Jr.’s regal Reisterstown estate has gone from one Orioles great to another.
Adam Jones, center fielder for the Orioles, placed the winning bid for the property during a Saturday auction at the house, said Wendy Oliver, business development director for DeCaro Auctions International, which handled the auction.
“We had eight bidders, registered bidders, and the house sold in 17 minutes,” Oliver said.
She declined to disclose the sale price.
Approached before Thursday’s Orioles game in Boston about the purchase, Jones said, “It’s not a story. … I’m rich.
