A 19-time All-Star and two-time American League Most Valuable Player, Ripken is best remembered for breaking Lou Gehrig's record for consecutive games played, a record that had stood for 56 years and many deemed unbreakable. Cal was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2007.
This Rawlings official Major League baseball was signed in blue by Ripken and includes an Ironclad hologram. The signature is a tad light as seen in photos.
