Ripken appointed special sports envoy..
Cool job Cal landed...

A theme Cal Ripken Jr. touched on in his Hall of Fame induction speech last month did not go unheeded in the nation's capital.
That July 29 afternoon in Cooperstown, N.Y., Ripken urged Major Leaguers to focus on America's youth. On Monday in Washington, D.C., the newest Hall of Famer was appointed a special sports envoy by the U.S. State Department and will begin his duties with a visit to China in late October.
