I thought I'd share with the forum the good fortune I recently had in picking up a (in my opinion) historical piece of Cal Ripken Jr. memorabilia. From a source which picked up numerous Orioles items in the late 1970's throughout the 80's are the homeplate umpires lineup cards (Orioles & BlueJays) from May 30, 1982. For those not familiar, May 30th 1982 was the FIRST game of Cal's consecutive game streak which would finally end over 16 years later in September 1998. Even though it's one of the carbon copies, I feel extremely honored to own this piece (which will be loaned to the Ripken Museum at the Ripken complex in Aberdeen, MD once they re-open)...
