history, he has the 27th-best all-time fielding percentage of major league second basemen, at .987. Personal life and post-MLB career On February 13, 1989, Ripken married Candace Cauffman. They live in Fallston, Maryland, and have two daughters, named Miranda and Anna, and two sons, named Reese and Jack. Ripken is currently a studio analyst for MLB Network and a radio personality for SiriusXM. After retiring from baseball, he partnered with Cal to form Ripken Baseball, which owns three minor league teams, the Aberdeen IronBirds, Augusta Greenjackets, and Charlotte Stone Crabs. Ripken Baseball and MLB.com, the official website of Major League Baseball, launched GetGreat.com on March 6, 2009. GetGreat.com is a youth baseball instructional site. Billy has taken part in the writing of several books relating to the development of young baseball players. In 2005, he and Cal wrote Play Baseball the Ripken Way: The Complete Illustrated Guide to the Fundamentals, and co-authored by Larry Burke. Working with Rick Wolff, the brothers released the book Parenting Young Athletes the Ripken Way in 2006 in response to Cal seeing too many young athletes who he felt were being pressured unnecessarily by their parents.

They need to find an environment in which they can explore their game ... without all these kinds of pressures being brought to bear. Once I started thinking about it, I saw we had more than enough to fill a book." They also wrote Coaching Youth Baseball the Ripken Way, co-written with Scott Lowe and published in 2007. Along with his brother, Billy formed the Cal Ripken Sr. Foundation in 2001 to give underprivileged children the opportunity to attend baseball camps around the country and learn the game. The Foundation is a branch of Ripken Baseball. In addition to controlling these camps and Ripken's minor league teams, Ripken Baseball operates for-profit camps and designs ballfields for youth, college, and professional teams. During the 2009 World Baseball Classic, Ripken served as a first base coach for the United States national team. The United States advanced to the semifinals in the tournament.
