Does Cal Ripken Jr's son Ryan Ripken play baseball?

Answer 1

Oh yes

Perhaps more notably, 6' 3" Ryan (an inch shorter than Cal but still growing) plays Basketball quite well. He was the second-leading scorer for Gilman School, a private school in Baltimore that is part of the Maryland Interscholastic Athletic Association (Calvert Hall, Georgetown Prep, Mt. St. Joseph's, Boys' Latin, etc.), last season as a freshman (11.5 ppg). The team looks to have a promising 2009-10 season as Ripken's teammates include last season's leading scorer Cyrus Jones (another freshman, 14 ppg, and football running back), Darius Jennings, outstanding all-around athlete & Gilman's starting QB (led the area in rushing this season with 2,000+ yards, also runs track), as well as some other excellent athletes including a UNC Lacrosse recruit and another football player (H-back) who stands 6' 5"/245 and will anchor the inside. Add several players from last season's almost-conference-champion JV squad and you have a group of players who are used to winning and have a great deal of athleticism. It should be an interesting season for Ryan & friends.
