I’ll give whoever buys it $30 to take a pic of himself wearing it on his head.

9 items in lot - 12 spot group break

Lot of (9) Cal Ripken, Jr. Consecutive Game (All-Time Record) #2632 Game Used Baltimore Orioles Equipment


A tremendous lot that features all the equipment odds and ends Cal Ripken, Jr. used to prepare for and play his historic consecutive game 2,632. Game worn items include Cal’s black Nike undershirt, jockstrap, underwear, socks and batting gloves. All of these items have a handwritten number “8” on them along with “9-19-98 CR”. In addition, the underwear has the date “8/21/98” in marker on the waistband. A pair of Oakley sunglasses are included that have been signed by Cal along with “2632” in silver marker. Capping off this equipment collection are two athletic tape wrappings worn by Cal during the game and the industrial tape cutter used to remove them after the game. This lot comes with a LOA from Cal Ripken, Jr. for the game use.

But if you buy it, you have to be able to carry it, right?

Somebody tell John Oliver about this one. The saga of Russel Crowe's jock strap was hilarious.

Is that actually from the record breaking game? That's kinda neat.

I think the #1 draw to purchasing this is to wear it on your head, no?
