The "Iron Man", Cal Ripken Jr. was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 2007 on the first ballot. A two-time American League MVP, Ripken was a 19-time All-Star, had his No. 8 retired by the Baltimore Orioles franchise and was named to the MLB All-Century Team. On the front left tail of this grey knit, is the RUSSELL ATHLETIC / MLB size 48 label. Attached is a ‘100% NYLON’ tag, a ‘2” EXTRA LENGTH’ tag and a ‘1996’ year tag. Team name (Orioles) across the chest, in orange, black and white tackle twill. Player number (8) below that and on the back and player name (RIPKEN) on a grey nameplate across the back. Both done in orange on black tackle twill. This jersey is properly tagged, presented to us as game-used and in our opinion shows excellent wear.
