Question Hi, Can you tell me about a game when the Orioles and Seattle Mariners got into a fight during a game and Cal Ripken twisted his ankle...? I need the date of that game. Can you email me a copy of your reply?
Thank you!

Answer Hi Laurie,
Yes, I remember that game very well. It took place on June 6, 1993 and started when Seattle catcher Bill Haselman charged the mound after he was hit by a pitch. Cal Ripken twisted his right knee in the melee and said afterward that it was the closest he ever came to ending his consecutive game streak. You can read about it in the baseball library at this site (scroll down to June 6): http://www.baseballlibrary.com/baseballlibrary/chronology/1993JUNE.stm#day6
