Cal Ripken Jr And Kevin Costner Feud: Wife Kelly Ripken In the Middle<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\nThe rumor about Cal Ripken’s junior former wife and Kevin Costner’s Feud made a huge disaster.<\/p>\n
The Baltimore Orioles and Seattle Mariners were forced to postpone their game on August 14, 1997, due to a partial electrical breakdown at Oriole Park at Camden Yards that impacted a bank of lights along the first base line. The strange episode not only frustrated the sellout crowd and players from both teams, but also gave rise to a lurid tale between Cal Ripken Jr. and Kevin Costner that still circulates today.<\/p>\n
A popular version of the rumor, which Ripken and Costner have denied and the fact-checking website Snopes declared false in 2001, goes as follows: Ripken allegedly discovered his then-wife, Kelly, in bed with Costner on the day of the postponement, and an altercation ensued.<\/p>\n
\u00a0Legend has it that the Iron Man couldn’t make it to the stadium in time because he was either hurt or in police custody as a result, so someone messed with the lights on purpose to keep his record consecutive games played streak going. On Monday, October 5, 2021, a narrative podcast hosted by ardent Orioles fans Sam Dingman and Mac Montandon was launched. It chronicles that night in Baltimore over 25 years ago and the mythical story it gave rise to.<\/p>\n
