Cal Ripken Jr. is credited with saving baseball during its darkest days. It was Ripken who helped heal the wounds caused by the 1994 strike.
This size "7 3/8" is the same type worn by Ripken when he was creating memories for millions. An American flag is stickered near the left ear hole and the back has an ABC and "8" sticker.
Ripken signed the front in silver paint pen. The signature includes a Ripken hologram on the underside, which also serves as authentication. This helmet was manufactured in 1996.
