    Very nice, I was looking at Cal Ripken stuff earlier today. I can't imagine a better collectible for a fan.

    Very cool; Happy Birthday; and, thanks for making a guy about to turn 32 feel old knowing Cal Ripken, Jr. is in his 50s. Next you'll tell me Dale Murphy is about 55

    Did Cal write that himself or was it requested that way?

    After those four National League games, Gorman Thomas was never the same, and neither were the Brewers, and come to think of it neither was I.

    Thanks guys.....It was a gift from Cal and the wording was all his idea.....He even spelled his last name so that you can read every letter (old school signature)

    I met him on several occassions after a game at the ballpark. He was always a gracious signer and would take time to talk with you. In my opinion, THE nicest ballplayer past or present EVER!

    Liquidating my collection for the 3rd and final time. Time for others to enjoy what I have enjoyed over the last several decades. Money could be put to better use.
