Rawlings OAL(Budig) Special Cal Ripken stamped baseball used during the historic September 6, 1995 game in which Baltimore Oriole Hall of Famer Cal Ripken eclipsed the immortal Lou Gehrig's consecutive games played record by appearing in his 2, 131 straight game. Ripken has signed the ball on the sweet spot in 8-9/10 blue ink. Home plate umpire Larry Barnett and 1B umpire Greg Kosc have signed to the left panel of the ball stamping with 3B umpire Al Clark and 2B umpire Dan Morrison to the right. Ball has evenly toned over the years. Outstanding piece of Baseball History!
Letter on official American League letterhead from 2B umpire Dan Morrison, dated 9/6/95 stating that this ball was used in the game that night.
