According to CYInterview.com (via TMZ), Iron Man Cal Ripken Jr. was asked if he had any interest in becoming the first baseball player to appear on ABC’s hit show “Dancing with the Star. Ripken responded, “probably not”.

The article says that he admits he has “two left feet” (obviously not on the diamond) and he is still “uncomfortable with the attention away from the field.”

Last week, Orioles ownership was accused of blocking Ripken from returning to the organization in an official baseball position. The team owner, Peter Angelos is believed to be reluctant on creating a position for Ripken because he does not want him to get any credit in the event the team returns to their winning ways.
