The favorite saying of Cal Ripken Jr.’s dad was “there’s more than one way to skin a cat.”

“There’s more than one way to skin a cat, that’s for sure. But going out and getting those big names, people who have done it, people who have been there, people who are leaders, people who have shown time and time again that they can be successful in this league is definitely what would help this clubhouse.”

“There’s more than one way to skin a cat, that’s for sure. But going out and getting those big names — people who have done it; people have been there; people who are leaders; people who have shown time and time again that they can be successful in this league — is definitely going to help this clubhouse and help this team.”

“They’ve added more than anybody else, and you saw where it got them this year. There’s more than one way to skin a cat, that’s for sure. But going out and getting those big names, people who’ve done it, people who have been there, people who are leaders, people who have shown time and time again they can be successful in this league, is definitely what would help this clubhouse, would help this team, maybe help those little things that we need.”

That prompted Mike to say: “Well, there’s more than one way to skin a cat.”
