Ironic that Cal Ripken's HOF Induction Ceremony contributed to the end of another O's 'Ironman' streak. Cal invited Ernie Tyler to be his guest at the HOF this weekend. Tyler is the umpires attendant for the Orioles and had not missed an O's home game since he was hired in 1960.

The O's requested that they be scheduled an away game on the date of Cal's induction into the HOF but the request was not honored.

I met Mr. Tyler at Joe's umpire school in the late 1990's. He was dropping off his grandson who was my roommate...until he quit school 2 weeks into it.
