The Iron Man Cal Ripken, Jr. recorded one of his best seasons in 1999, batting .340 with 18 home runs in 86 games. His 1999 road gray Baltimore Orioles Russell Athletic button-down jersey features “Orioles” and a paraph across the chest in orange, black and white tackle twill and Ripken’s famed number “8” is below in the same orange, black and white tackle twill. There is black piping on both sleeve ends with the left having the oriole bird patch and the right having the number “7” sewn on in black tackle twill honoring his late father, Cal Ripken, Sr. The left front tail has the Russell size 48 label with “+2 EXTRA LENGTH” and “100% POLYESTER” flags and a “1999” strip tags below. The back has “RIPKEN” arched above his number “8” in orange and black tackle twill. The jersey shows light game use and Ripken has labeled the clear plastic bag it was stored in with blue marker that reads “1999 Game Road Jersey”. This comes directly from the personal collection of Cal Ripken, Jr., with a signed LOA from Cal for the game use will accompany this jersey.
