The former Orioles' Triple A affiliate boasted soon to be AL Rookie of the Year, Cal Ripken, Jr. Official International League baseball contains 25 ballpoint signatures from the 1981 Rochester Red Wings, highlighted by the pre-rookie ink mark of baseball's all-time most durable player. A most rare and tantalizing signature from Ripken, as his stint with the Red Wings was very short in 1981. Signatures grade "9" overall and ball itself is EX-MT and unblemished.
