Hall of Famer Cal Ripken, Jr. led the Baltimore Orioles to an 85-77 record in 1993 as he led the American League with 641 at-bats and finished the season with a .257 batting average, 24 home runs and 90 RBI. It was the second season for Oriole Park at Camden Yards, which has become the inspiration for many of the new ballparks that have opened in the last 20 years. Camden Yards hosted the 1993 All-Star game and Ripken continued his pursuit of Lou Gehrig’s consecutive games played streak.

Coming directly from his personal collection, Ripken wore this “1954” throwback road gray uniform during the June 19th, 1993 game at Cleveland. Ripken went 1-for-4 during the Indians 3-0 victory and this size 48 Russell Athletic button-down gray jersey features “Orioles” scripted in cursive across the chest with a paraph sewn on in black and orange tackle twill. Unlike the regular Orioles’ jersey in 1993, Ripken’s number “8” is NOT sewn on the center left chest. The Russell Athletic tag sewn on the bottom front tail. The back of the jersey has Ripken’s number “8” sewn on in solid black tackle twill. This 1954 throwback jersey does not have the “1993 All-Star Game” logo patch and the right sleeve, but does have the Russell Athletic logo embroidered in black. Cal has marked this jersey with a white tag that is pinned on the collar that reads “Turn Back Clock Clevel Old Stadium”. This jersey displays light game use with light fraying of the stitching of the number on the back. This comes with a signed LOA from Cal Ripken, Jr.
