At the diner, we’d love a visit from any Orioles, past and present. Oriole fans already know their way.

In July, the Orioles announced that Brooks Robinson and Eddie Murray would rejoin the team as special advisers, but there hasn’t been any word about a role with the team for Cal Ripken Jr.

For many years following his retirement, Robinson served as a commentator on television broadcasts. Murray had a four-year stint as a coach from 1998-2001.

However, Ripken has never had an official role with the team. His portfolio includes owning the Aberdeen IronBirds, the Orioles Short-Season A team, as well as a corporate spokesman.

In the past, Ripken has said that if he were to return to baseball in a full-time role, it would be an executive capacity. Although there’s been chatter over the years about Ripken managing, that doesn’t seem a likely path.

Ripken is close friends with Murray and Brady Anderson, the team’s vice president for baseball operations who may be assuming a larger role in the organization.

This week’s Diner Question: Is now the time for the Orioles to bring on Cal Ripken Jr. in a significant role? If so, what should that role be?
