Cal Ripken, Jr. is baseball's all-time Iron Man and a member of the National Baseball Hall of Fame.  He retired from baseball following the 2001 season after 21 seasons with the Baltimore Orioles.  His name appears in the record books repeatedly, most notably as one of only eight players in history to achieve 400 home runs and 3,000 hits.   On July 29, 2007, he was inducted into the Hall of Fame after receiving the third highest voting percentage in history and collecting the most votes ever.

In 1995, Ripken broke Lou Gehrig's record for consecutive games played (2,130) and voluntarily ended his streak in 1998 after playing 2,632 consecutive games.  Although he finished his career at third base, Cal is still best known for redefining the position of shortstop.

The Ripken name has become synonymous with strength, character, endurance, and integrity.  Cal's philosophy of working hard, playing with passion, and enjoying the game has made a tremendous impact on the sport and on fans everywhere.  In 1999, Babe Ruth League Inc. changed the name of its largest division (5-12 year-olds) from Bambino to Cal Ripken Baseball. Presently, over 700,000 youth play Cal Ripken Baseball worldwide.
