Hall of Famer and baseball Iron Man Cal Ripken, Jr. hit his 200th career home run on August 21st, 1989 when he took Milwaukee Brewers’ pitcher Mark Knudson deep for a game-breaking 3-run home run in the bottom of the 5th inning. Ripken’s blast opened up a 5-0 lead for the Orioles as they would cruise to a 5-0 victory over Milwaukee at Memorial Stadium in Baltimore. This offered Official American League Bobby Brown stamped baseball was the very ball Ripken hit for his milestone 200th career home run. This ball displays solid game use with stains and abrasion marks. Ripken has signed his name in bold blue pen across the sweet spot and above his signature is inscribed “Home Run #200”. This ball comes directly from the personal collection of Cal Ripken, Jr. and a signed LOA will accompany this milestone baseball.
