"(CNN) -- A man committed an error when he tried to carjack the mother of baseball Hall of Famer Cal Ripken Jr., Maryland authorities said Tuesday.

Violet Ripken was at a bank parking lot in Aberdeen when the suspect, armed with a handgun, demanded her car.

Ripken pressed the panic button on her key ring, setting off the car's alarm and scaring the man away, the Aberdeen Police said in a written statement. Ripken was not hurt, they said.

That's one tough lady... was kindnapped a year ago and held for 24 hours , survived OK. I guess raising a bunch of busy boys in Maryland makes ya tough.

I didn't know that kidnappings for ransom were common here as they are in third world countries.

I'd carry some big iron from now on if I were her.

Sounds like she does a much better job at thwarting criminals than her son does at announcing the play-by-play.
The TBS NLCS guys are pretty bad...

Wouldn't that be Cal Ripken's wife?
