“The Iron Man” played his entire 21 season career with the Baltimore Orioles and holds the MLB record for consecutive games played at 2,632. Ripken was inducted into the hall of fame in 2007 with the sixth-highest election percentage ever to-date at 98.53%. The size 7 3/8 cap features Ripken’s number “8” on the underside of the brim for player attribution. The Franklin gloves read “RIP-8”. The cap and gloves have been presented to us as game-used and in our opinion show appropriate wear. Originally sold as part of the Ripken Collection by Goldin Auctions, the LOA has been lost over time.
