Quick Post to recognize the 20th Anniversary of Cal Ripken playing in his 2131st consecutive game, breaking the record previously held by Lou Gehrig.
2001 UD Cal Ripken Commemorative Set #4
This card is from a special 2001 Commemorative set that I believe was a giveaway at an Orioles game - wish I can remember.
2001 UD Cal Ripken Commemorative Set #4 (b-side)
The flip side of the card covers some of the milestones in the streak and has a thumbnail of the lineup card from the game Ryan Minor started in place of Ripken. We discussed that game where Cal Ripken finally took a day off on the 15th Anniversary.
