Last evening, the (Class A) Aberdeen Ironbirds wore Cal Ripken Jr. Commemorative 2131 Jerseys vs. Lowell to celebrate the 20th Anniversary of Cal passing Lou Gehrig for the all-time Consecutive Game record (proceeds going to the local Boys & Girls Club).
The team held a silent auction during the game for the game worn tops & each jersey will be signed by Cal as well. I bid on a few and I know I won at least one (which should be confirmed in a day or so). I took pictures of a mannequin wearing a sample jersey as well as a picture I took of the entire team wearing them during the Anthem:

They held a silent auction during the game for the jerseys worn that evening and I targeted the jersey of hitting coach Calvin Pickering, because he was the only person in uniform who actually was a teammate of Cal Ripken. Not to mention at size 54, this is easily the largest jersey I own.
After washing them and having Cal sign them all, it finally arrived yesterday:

That stadium looks familiar. Is that the Cal Ripken Stadium? I know I pass one on my way from Long Island to Baltimore when I go to Loyola to visit my daughter.

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.

Yes, that's Ripken Stadium which is located @ Exit 85 on I-95 (the scoreboard in CF is visible from the highway). If you ever get the chance you should stop off not only to check out the ballpark but also the Youth Complex across the street with youth sized replica fields of Fenway Park, Wrigley, old Memorial Stadium & Camden Yards....
Thanks for the note
