The iron man of all iron men, Cal Ripken Jr. is probably best known for his 2,632 consecutive games played streak but his 8,243 consecutive innings played will likely never come close to being matched, let alone broken. That unprecedented streak was ended on September 14, 1987, but Ripken's quest for Lou Gehrig’s record resumed when he was in the lineup the next day. Offered here is the Rawlings PRO 6-HF model glove that was used by Cal Ripken, Jr. during the 1987 and 1988 seasons. This glove displays outstanding game use with even wear being shown on the pocket, web face and throughout the body of the glove. The tips of the fingers are scuffed as would be expected from Ripken playing in the field during the 1987 and 1988 seasons.
The glove was constructed of Rawlings top grade “Heart of the Hide” tanned steer hide and is bound with tanned rawhide laces. The web is a pro-style single post double T-bar with a closed “Fastback” with finger “Holster” back and an adjustable wrist strap. The Rawlings red label with white lettering embroidered is on the wrist. The year code “OBB09” on the glove indicates that this was manufactured in November of 1987. “1987-88” is handwritten in black marker on the outer index finger and this glove has been signed by Ripken in black marker on the same outside index finger location. This comes directly from the personal collection of Cal Ripken, Jr and is accompanied by signed letter from Cal and a full LOA from PSA/DNA for the glove's use.
