Cal Ripken Jr.’s 1993 Game-Used Baltimore Orioles Jersey

A Legendary Career with the Baltimore Orioles

Cal Ripken Jr., a name synonymous with baseball excellence, dedicated his entire 21-year career to the Baltimore Orioles. As a 19-time All-Star and a member of the prestigious 3,000 hit club, Ripken is celebrated as one of the greatest shortstops and third basemen in the history of Major League Baseball. Standing at an impressive 6′ 4″ and weighing 225 lbs., he redefined the role of a shortstop, paving the way for larger athletes to excel in this position. His induction into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 2007 was a testament to his remarkable career, as he was a first-ballot inductee with the third highest voting percentage in Hall of Fame history.
