In a light moment at Sonia Sotomayor's Senate confirmation hearings, Maryland Senator Ben Cardin thanked Sotomayor for supporting Baltimore legend, Cal Ripken Jr.
"You're a hero to the Baltimore baseball fan. During the Major League baseball strike, you allowed the season to continue so Cal Ripken could become the Iron Man in September 1995," Cardin said. "We want to invite you to an Oriole's game."
"That's a great invitation," Sotomayor replied. "You can assure your Baltimore fans that I have been to Camden Yards. It's a beautiful stadium."
Sotomayor is tapped as the first Hispanic on the Supreme Court. The Judiciary Committee hearings are expected to conclude Thursday.
