Framed Portrait of Hall of Famer Cal Ripken Jr.
A portrait of ironman greatness—this framed image of Cal Ripken Jr., collected by Tony Gwynn, honors a Hall of Fame peer known for his unmatched durability and quiet excellence.
Description
Framed portrait of Cal Ripken Jr., collected by the Tony Gwynn Estate, celebrating one of baseball’s most respected and enduring legends. Ripken famously broke Lou Gehrig’s record by playing in 2,632 consecutive games, a feat that earned him the nickname “The Iron Man.” Over a 21-year career with the Baltimore Orioles, Ripken was a 19-time All-Star and two-time American League MVP (1983, 1991). He entered the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 2007 alongside Gwynn, cementing their shared legacy as icons of consistency, humility, and greatness. This piece reflects Gwynn’s admiration for Ripken and commemorates the bond between two timeless figures in the game.
