{ Ripken }

Well, Andy, the Ripken League is over and your record wasn't the best, but you played very well and had a great time.  And to prove it, you were one of only 12 kids chosen from all of the teams for the All-Star team!  We are so proud of you!  You and Corey were the only two from the Pirates chosen and will head to the Diamondback World Series in Flemington, NJ in July to compete!! So proud of you!
