This full-size game model baseball bat hand-signed and inscribed by Cal Ripken Jr.

Ripken inscribed the bat "2131" & "2632"

The numbers 2131 and 2632 are highly significant in the career of Cal Ripken Jr. because they represent his incredible consecutive games played streak, which cemented his place in baseball history.

2131: This number marks the game on September 6, 1995, when Ripken broke Lou Gehrig’s longstanding record of 2,130 consecutive games played. Gehrig’s record had stood for 56 years and was considered unbreakable by many. Ripken's achievement earned him the nickname “The Iron Man,” as he surpassed this historic milestone, a moment that captivated the baseball world.

2632: This is the final number of consecutive games Ripken played in his career. Ripken voluntarily ended his streak on September 19, 1998, after playing in 2,632 consecutive games over 17 seasons with the Baltimore Orioles. This record of durability and dedication to the game is one of the most unbreakable in sports, showcasing Ripken’s resilience and love for baseball.

The autograph includes an official James Spence Authentication (JSA) hologram and matching COA for authenticity purposes.
