Baseball great Cal Ripken canceled a youth baseball clinic he was scheduled to run in Nicaragua, pussying out because of “dangerous political strife” in the wake of hotly contested elections.
[T]he program sponsors canceled the last day of the tour because protesters were blocking major roads in Leon and they were concerned parents and the youths would not be able to attend, U.S. Embassy spokeswoman Kristin Stewart said.
Opposition party supporters are claiming election fraud and have clashed with leftist Sandinista party supporters, blocked roads and held protests since the Nov. 9 municipal elections.
Aw, that sucks. They really shouldn’t have canceled. Just send little brother Billy in Cal’s place. Worst case scenario: the kids learn baseball from Bill Ripken. Sure, it’s also possible that the Sandinistas might kidnap Billy and hold him for ransom, but that’s not gonna work out. Billy Ripken error cards are worth more than Billy Ripken.

We all know what’s really going on here: Kevin Costner must be fucking Ripken’s wife again, that rascal.
And yet he drove through Baltimore every day so he could never miss a game.
@Weed: I knew a minor leaguer (kind of a Crash Davis lifer type) who SWORE that story was true. I’m pretty sure it’s a urban legend, though, right? I don’t want to think badly of the artist that gave the world “The Postman”.
Oh sure, when Cal Ripken, Jr. ends his charitable streak it’s due to political strife and it’s acceptable, while when I end my charitable streak it’s because the cops finally wrestled me down at the old folk’s home.
But hey, it’s for Jerry’s Kids…it’s worth it.
In Other News: I made a hobo chase a dollar that I attached to a string.
Best dollar I ever spent.
The only person Kevin Costner has sex with is himself, while standing in front of a full length mirror.
/I want the 3 hours of my life it took to watch Wyatt Earp back you bastard
Perhaps Kevin Costner could provide some of Nicaragua’s rural residents with some insight into how to drink their own piss.
/Waterworld sucked
I expect more from a guy that look like Darth Vader sans helmet.
Does anyone have the David Cone rookie card where he forgot to wipe the jizz off his chin?
