O's fan gives Josh Hamilton's bat to Cal Ripken lookalike's kid

Josh Hamilton let a bat slip through his hands and sail into the stands at Camden Yards during a Texas Rangers- Baltimore Orioles game.  A mini tug-of-war broke out for the prized piece of wood before the bigger fan— who actually snagged the spinning bat— turned it over to a young kid in the same section of seats after yanking from the hands of a woman.

The fan— decked out head-to-toe in O's gear— who won the tug of war scolded the woman on the losing end of the tug and handed the projectile over to the kid a few seats over.

It's no wonder.  The guy sitting next to the kid had a slight resemblance to Oriole's popular legend Cal Ripken and— as anyone in Baltimore knows— what Cal wants, Cal gets— seemingly even Ripken doppelgangers.


Even if the kid wasn't with Cal II, everyone cheered and— amazingly— no one was hurt except for maybe the lady who got the pointed finger in her face.
