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 Sports Mint "Hands of Gold" piece was pressed in marble by Cal Ripken, Jr. on September 6, 1995 to commemorate breaking Gehrig's consecutive game streak. His hand prints are coated in 23k gold and are framed with an autographed 8x10 photo.
