The time I interviewed Cal Ripken over Siberia on the way to China
Yep. You read it right! In October 2007, Nestor Aparicio flew to Beijing to capture The Iron Man spreading baseball goodwill prior to the 2008 Olympic Games.

Nestor Aparicio spends a brief moment with guitarist Phil Collen of Def Leppard chatting about playing rock music acoustically and soccer vs. football! Hershey, PA on Aug. 12, 2007.

When Cal Ripken was headed to the Hall of Fame in Cooperstown in 2007, he sat down with Nestor to reflect on his life on the field and discuss the plan ahead.

When Cal Ripken Jr. was preparing for his Cooperstown trip in 2007, he sat down with Nestor to reflect upon a life in baseball and the future in Aberdeen and beyond.

When Cal Ripken was preparing to enter Cooperstown in 2007, he sat down with Nestor to discuss many aspects of his incredible career with the Baltimore Orioles.

When Cal Ripken was headed to the Hall of Fame, he sat down with Nestor to chat about life and reflect in 2007.

This is the finale of a spirited four-part chat with Fatso, who covered all of aspects of his life on a summer night in Fallston when he had a lot of energy to make us laugh.

They told a lot of stories over the years but nothing better than hearing Artie talk about his love for Dottie Donovan. This is the third part of a lengthy chat with Fatso when he was still storytelling.

They had a lot of fun over the years but it was never more educational than hearing Artie describe what he ate and why he ate it.

Legendary WJZ sports guy John Buren joined Nestor in honoring Fatso back when he had plenty of energy to tell his story – in the way that only Artie could tell it!

He arrived with Kordell Stewart, refused to sign autographs and had an awesome mink coat. But as you will hear, Prime sat center stage and answered every question from every Ravens fan when he was no longer in the “prime” of his legendary career.

The first autograph he ever got at Eastpoint Mall in 1976 was from the big defensive lineman from Buffalo. Then, the Reverend made a life here in Baltimore and still touches us all…

Back in 2003 when he was celebrating his final days as a bachelor, Nestor got a surprise visit from the man who knows the role of whoopee in any game show or good marriage.

The rebuilding year of 2002 was difficult on the future Hall of Famer because he was used to winning so much at The U.

When The Golden Arm left us tragically on a fall day, William Donald Schaefer called into Nestor’s show to grieve with the community.

The football talk and Super Bowl XXXV win and haka dance at The Barn are all vivid memories from the era of the first purple miracle but we had some good times just singing Christmas songs and laughing…

Hall of Famer Tony Gwynn sat down with Nestor at Jack Murphy Stadium to discuss a life after baseball during the final month of his legendary Padres career.

With less than a month left in his Hall of Fame career, Nestor visited his favorite baseball player one last time at The Murph for a lengthy chat.

When the legendary Baltimore Orioles outfielder died in 2019, it was hard to find this clip but it made us smile when we did. And this 1992 picture is only one he could find from when the Hall of Famer umpired the “Broadcast vs. Print Media Baseball Game” at Camden Yards.

There were many chats over the years of his decade of brilliance on the mound at Camden Yards but this was Spring Training 2000. The end was near…

Eleven months later, his Atlanta workout mate Ray Lewis and he and the rest of the purple reign greatest defense of all time were in the confetti in Tampa.

It was the greatest night of sports legends ever collected in one room. The 1999 Sports Illustrated 20th Century Awards event in New York brought out all of the stars…

It was the beginning of the Brian Billick era in Baltimore when two future Hall of Famers gathered in Parkville to talk about winning a ring.

The first firewalk was in the summer of 1994. After that, Nestor invited Robbins onto the radio show to discuss athletes and peak performers managing their state and achieving success against all odds.

Before Living Classrooms and WNST, there was that time when Nestor flew to Minneapolis for the NFC Championship Game to meet the guy who would become the first Super Bowl-winning coach of the Baltimore Ravens.

Our legendary nights at The Barn back in the 1990s hold some incredible storytelling…

Back in the 1990s, live radio would pack ’em in and football and baseball conversations would weave together. The future Hall of Famer was wearing an “It’s a D.C. Thang” T-shirt. His hometown and the Nation’s Capital didn’t even have a team back then…

Live radio from The Barn on Anniversary Shows was always a mixture of mayhem, beer, crabs and cake. And sometimes Hall of Famers tripping over each other from San Diego to Baltimore…

Early in his career, Nestor was always fishing for the real history of sports. No better place to find it than from a guy who was at the pool with Joe Namath in Miami in 1969.

During the 1997 NFL season, Nestor Aparicio hosted a national television show every week with two legends at Sheffield Studios. He convinced them to drop by his live show one Monday night…

The picture is from October 1996 at the Indianapolis airport when Nestor ran into the Governor with Ricig’s Bob Irsay dummy on a stick. The conversation is Part Two of a spicy chat with John Moag and Schaefer at The Barn to kickoff the Ravens’ second season on 33rd Street at Memorial Stadium.

In the aftermath of the move of the NFL franchise, Nestor welcomed the leadership to The Barn for crabs, beer and a conversation about how Art Modell brought his football team to the Charm City.

Where were you when the Ravens drafted Peter Boulware and Jamie Sharper? We were in Parkville getting to know a Hall of Famer…

Nestor treasures every one of these conversations with his mentor and the legend of Baltimore sportswriting. From Colts to Ravens, indeed…

Opening Day was always a big deal in Baltimore. We spent this one at Bohager’s on Eden Street with Number Five talking about the good ole’ days of ‘dem O’s.

Yes, the owner of a National Football League team came out to Parkville and ate crabs with the people back in the day…

Crabs. Parkville. Live radio shows. Batman on the wing waiting to open the dance floor. And in walks a Hall of Famer before the Tops In Sports banquet. Listen in…

The legendary sports columnist at The News American checked in with his star pupil Nestor the day after the death of Robert Irsay. This one was spicy…

During the 1996 MLB playoffs, “Grease” was on stage at the Mechanic Theatre and the man known to many as Ralph Malph was performing across the street from our studio.

Toward the end of his legendary life as a basketball coach, referee and sports radio pundit, the pride of Glen Burnie “coached” Nestor with some information to take with him.
