At age 29, Cal Ripken was well into his record-breaking consecutive game streak, and had bloomed into one of baseball's most consistent hitters. With 21 homers in '90, he cleared the 20 mark for the 9th straight season. His lumber of choice was this Louisville Slugger P72 signature model, a durable bat for the most durable player in baseball history. Well used and tarred up on the handle, the bat displays excellent form with no cracks and a nice black sharpie signature on the barrel. "g8" is written in black marker on the knob.
