This is the version of the story I know: Ripken beat up his wife after the Costner incident. Also, Cal Ripken took steroids and is part of the reason for the O’s demise.

Im a huge huge fan of Kevin. And if Ripken says its not true… Then there’s no valid reason to believe this story. Honestly, its stupid.

Well that would be upsetting indeed. Everyone likes a good Kevin Costner-punched -in-the-face story. Not so much a spousal abuse story…

Actually, the version of this story that I heard, and I lived in Maryland at the time, was that Cal got physical with his wife, not Costner.

i used to work at the stadium in the late 90’s. i occasionally worked with a lady in the baltimore police dept. she confirmed through her counterparts the police were called to the ripken household for a domestic disturbance and costner was at the house…as for ripken decking him i do not know…its quite possible the power went out at camden yards, ripken went home and found costner with his wife who may have had no idea that the power was out at the stadium and the game would not be played.

I was at that game. The lights did indeed go out around the top ring of the stadium.

It was a very, very strange evening, and I’m pretty sure I remember CR Jr. taking IF.

I’m torn between two sides on this rumor. Stay with me on this one. The rumor is true about Ripken pounding Costner. The rumor about the Orioles faking the light outage is not. They are two Separate incidents.

I heard about Ripken’s night in a Baltimore Jail from a friend of a women who walked (former Orioles Catcher) Chris Hoiles dogs. Kevin Costner went on a date with Cal’s wife Kelly. Cal found out and punched Kevin Costner.

If It happened the night before the power outage don’t you think Cal Ripken could have gotten bail before the start of the game. Especially in Baltimore.
