The series of games played at Camden Yards in September of 1995 captured the attention of the nation. Lou Gehrig's mark of 2,130 consecutive games played was long held as one of the greatest records in the history of sports that would almost certainly never be approached let alone eclipsed. Cal Ripken Jr. was inserted into the Baltimore Orioles starting lineup on May 30, 1982. During two games played consecutively on September 5 and 6th, 1995 Ripken Jr. tied and surpassed Gehrig's vaunted record and assumed the position as baseball's Iron Man. Offered are two game used baseballs attributed to use within the record tying and breaking games. Each is signed by Ripken Jr. on the sweet spot with signature and related inscription on side panel of both baseballs by American League umpire Al Clark who worked both games. Each ball exhibits evident use and features the special Ripken 2,131 insignia stamp. Includes two individual full LOAs from PSA/DNA and two individual handwritten and signed letters of provenance from Al Clark on American League letterhead: Baseballs: EX, Signatures: NM
