  It tells you when you have finished a round and you get that 880 bonus.

   

  A paltry 29 for me atm, because my wife made me take her to the beach for a couple of days. How inconsiderate.

  Cal ripken was a baseball player for the Baltimore Orioles. 

   

  FTFY.... and to add he is the current record holder of consecutive MLB games played at 2,632 spanning 17 seasons!  An incredible accomplishment.

  Actually.... so as not to confuse the 2 ....  Cal Ripkin was the Father of the person shown in the photo above .... This happens to be Cal Ripken Jr.  

  Cal Ripkin --- the Senior --- was a player, scout, coach and manager in the Baltimore Orioles organization.  He actually managed the parent club for a brief time when his 2 sons Cal Jr. and Billy played. 

  So much for baseball trivia.
