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 home Baltimore Orioles Russell Athletic button-down jersey features “Orioles” and a paraph across the chest in black and orange tackle twill and Ripken’s famed number “8” is below in orange and black tackle twill. There is black piping that runs around the collar and down both sides of the buttons and both sleeve ends have black piping while the left has the oriole bird patch and the right has 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 black and orange tackle twill. The jersey shows light game use with evidence of washing and loose threads. This home jersey has been signed on the front in bold, contrasting black marker by Ripken below the end of the paraph on the right chest. This jersey comes directly from the personal collection of Cal Ripken, Jr. and a signed LOA from Cal Ripken, Jr. for the game use and signature will accompany this jersey.
