Descripci�n

As new condition oversized (folio - over 12 inches tall) black cloth boards with copper front cover lettering contained in a fine condition non price-clipped color photographic dust jacket. Profusely illustrated with color photogaphs. "On September 6, 1995, the major league pageant was glorified by Cal Ripken. Playing in his 2,131st consecutive game, he surpassed Lou Gehrig's most hallowed of all baseball records, the one no one believed ever would be broken. At age 35, the longtime star shortstop of the Baltimore Orioles accepted a nation's admiration and love with the grace and humility that has characterized his long career. "Ripken's streak" commenced in his first full season of major league action; and the sports world watched with growing wonder at Cal played every game, year after year, redeeming an American ideal - that of the reliable working man who shows up on time, scorning sick days and frequently ignoring injuries that would have disabled his colleagues. This feat of extraordinary durability marks the pinnacle of a still-evolving, truly remarkable career. Calvin Edwin Ripken Jr. was voted American League Rookie of the Year in 1982, and in the following year was named the league's Most Valuable Player - an award he received again in 1991. Named to his league's All-Star team twelve times, he has been a consistent offensive force, ammassing more career home runs than any other shortstop, and he has fielded his position with captivating skill. In one season (1990) he played every inning and committed only three errors, attaining the highest fielding percentage (.996) of any shorstop in any year. He was born to play baseball. His father, Cal Ripken Sr., a respected coach and manager at both the minor and major league levels, tutored his sons in the art of the game; and for six years Cal Jr. and younger brother Billy - a gifted second baseman - were the Orioles' agile partners on the double play. The statistical achievements of Cal Ripken are one legend still in the making. How this Maryland lad grew into a star performer and spiritual inspiration for his teammates and opponents also is the stuff of legend. Here is the Cal Ripken story in pictures and in his own words, modest but forthright like the man himself." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.

Vero Beach Books is an antiquarian bookseller with a constantly updated inventory of rare out-of-print books, signed books, children's books, plus a large inventory of ephemeral items such as major U.S. city newspapers going back 100 years and more, golden and silver age fine condition comic books (soon to be added), and many other ephemeral items as well as much more recent popular volumes. We have been in business for 25 years, originally known as Emerson Books (named after one of our owner's favorite authors, to wit, Ralph Waldo Emerson) located back then in Westport, Connecticut. That said, we are here to serve you, to offer you fine quality items that are conservatively described so that you will always be pleasantly surprised and delighted with your purchase. Twenty-five years in the bookselling business has borne out our stellar service oriented reputation; the only difference is that now we are located in the almost always sunny and warm climate of Vero Beach, Florida. Again, we are here to serve you and, as was the case when we were previously known on ABEBooks.com as Emerson Books, we will continue to offer our very popular 100% free search service for those hard to find books rare and out of print books. Oftentimes we are also able to obtain these rare finds at very good discounts to our customers' so it is always worth contacting us in such cases!
