In honor of tonight's Grammy Awards, I thought I'd share this picture that I recently had signed by both Bill & Cal Ripken.
Back in September of 1987, whle trying to turn a double play, Bill Ripken's cleat got caught in a seam around the sliding pit at Exhibition Stadium in Toronto and broke his ankle in doing so....
This wire/laser photo shows Billy writhing in pain shortly thereafter, but what I thought was cool about the picture is that his brother Cal Jr., was using his right foot as support for Bill's head & neck....(not to mention his dad looking over him).

You think Cal's like saying shake it off you can play?
Joking aside that's a great item thanks for sharing.
