Cal Ripken made his Major League debut at the end of the 1981 season appearing in 23 games with the Orioles before embarking on one of the most legendary careers in sports. In 1983 his second full season in the Majors he hit .318 while leading the League in runs (121) hits (211) and doubles (47). That performance would help lead the Orioles to their first World Championship in 13 years. Offered is a two-tone 35 inch 33.4-oz. Louisville Slugger game bat dating to that early period of his career.
This Louisville Slugger model P72 Cal Ripken Jr. professional model bat is un-cracked and shows evidence of outstanding use. Many ball marks and ball stitch impressions are visible on the left front and back barrel. Also visible on the bat are cleat marks and bat rack streaks. There is a light coat of pine tar on the handle. Cal Ripken Jr.’s number 8 is written on the knob in black marker.
Includes a LOA from John Taube of PSA/DNA (GU8)
