A local kid from Maryland broke into the big leagues as a third baseman with the Baltimore Orioles in 1981. The following season- on may 30- 1982- in the team’s 46th game of the year- Cal Ripken- Jr. Was penciled into the starting lineup. It would be sixteen years and 2-632 games before the Baltimore Orioles would have a starting line-up without his name in it. He shattered the longevity record of 2-130 games set by the Iron Horse- Lou Gehrig - a feat that most baseball observers thought was unattainable by any other player. Cal Ripken Jr.- the ultimate competitor- transformed the position of shortstop. He was a gold glove caliber fielder who brought power to the position of shortstop like few before him could do- and he had the uncanny ability to come up with the biggest hits when the lights were shining their brightest. The litany of his achievements is amazing: rookie of the year- two time American League most valuable player- and member of the 1983 World Champion Orioles. One of the greatest ambassadors the game of baseball has ever seen- he had the great fortune to play with his brother as a teammate and his father as a coach and manager. Cal Ripken- Jr.’s place in baseball history was cemented by his overwhelming selection into baseball’s Hall of Fame in 2007. Limited edition to 888 pieces.
