A former University of Oklahoma baseball player is asking for a thief to return a ring he earned for reaching college baseball's highest stage.Ryan Gibson, a left-handed pitcher who played for the Sooners during the 2010 and 2011 seasons, said the thief broke in through the glass on his home's front door Monday and stole more than $4,000 worth of possessions. The burglar got away with TVs, gaming systems, guns, watches and other items."Somebody had to hold this open while somebody else kicked the door in," Gibson said. "And because the door never opened, the alarm never even went off."One of the stolen items had sentimental meaning: a College World Series ring Gibson received for the OU baseball team's 2010 appearance. The Sooners' run for a national title, which came during the final College World Series at Rosenblatt Stadium, was the program's first appearance since 1995."It's probably the only thing they took that's got some sentimental value," Gibson said. "The other stuff is material and can be replaced. And for it to be gone just really sucks."Although the Sooners didn't win the national title in 2010, Gibson said the ring represents the hard work he and his teammates put in to reach the College World Series. He said he hopes whoever stole the ring returns it soon.
