During his pursuit of Lou Gehrig's "unbreakable" consecutive-game streak, Cal Ripken, Jr, became one of the most popular and engaging figures in baseball history. This game used bat is from the 1987-88 period, the prime of his 21-year Major League career. It shows outstanding use throughout, with a slight handle crack and tape on the handle. The P72 model ash beauty measures 34" and weighs 32.1 ounces, has Ripken's number "8" handwritten on the knob and is signed "HOF 2007" in gold.

Addendum: This bat is actually from the 1984-86 period and has received a grade of PSA GU 8.
