And now let's meet the 1983 American League All-Star from the Baltimore Orioles. Shortstop, Cal Ripkin Jr.

Cal Ripkin has taken over at shortstop for Robin Young. Cal Ripkin Jr.'s after the strike in 1994. This man helped bring back baseball.

Here once again is our old friend, Cal Ripkin Jr. Cal, if we have time, let's go out the hallway and I'll lock us and ground it, Rickin, deep and short. He's got a gun, he fires the Palmyro, and there's a doubt. Playing every day has certainly hurt the performance of Cal Ripkin Jr. Heading the American League and hitting with a 348 average, 18 home runs, having possibly his best year ever

I remember that one wins on the run on the run forget it

that is hit number six for Cal Ripkin oh yeah Cal gets a whole of another one you can kiss this one goodbye his third home run of the game

and he's now driven in a career high eight runs the way this man went from third base by earl we were to shortstop early in his career he revolutionized that position at cal ripkin is the reason big shorts after playing the game today thinking more offensive minded

right all deep the left career home run number 400 for conference there it is number 3,000 and another milestone for Cal Ripkin Jr.

One of the greatest players ever to play the game here to honor Cal, the Yankee Clipper,

Joe, the New Hill!

Wherever my former teammate, Lou Gehrig, is today, I'm sure he's tipping his cat to you, Cal Ripton.

And let it be said that number eight, Cal Ripton Jr.

Has reached the unreachable star.

And in this 72nd All-Star game, the 19-time All-Star deserves to go out and play this first

inning as the shortstop.

The man of a thousand stances, Leans off, rips one, goodbye.

Rook and Humbers in his final All-Star game.

What did you say, Joe?

Goodbye.

What a goodbye.

Spiegel and Holmes.

Afternoons on the score.

An epic career for one of our favorite players, and he continues to spread the gospel of the game of baseball through everything, through Cal Ripkin Little League, to the Cowell Ripkin Senior Foundation.
