Cal Ripken, Jr.

By Bill Gutman

Book Overview

Cal Ripken, Jr., was born into a baseball family in Havre de Grace, Maryland, and grew up with the sport. He went on to a successful career as a shortstop with the Baltimore Orioles, and has become one of the best role models in baseball, especially after his 1995 breaking of the record set by Lou Gehrig for most consecutive games played (2,131). His sportsmanship and skill make for a great sports biography.
