Re: AMI Cal Ripken Game Worn Cleats
As promised, here are a couple pictures of Cal during pre-game practice that I took myself. The one in the black warm-up is from 1985 and the other is from 1986..In both of these instances he is wearing black/white Adidas rubber cleats (which was pretty much the norm for him back then).

Re: AMI Cal Ripken Game Worn Cleats
I just want to clarify my previous post (I have rec'd a few e-mails) that I believe that the cleats AMI are offerring were definitely worn by Cal, but most likely for pre game use (as opposed to in an actual game). The picture I posted was just to depict Cal wearing a shoe/spike with a color combination of other than black/orange. If I have time later I can dig out my own pictures I took of Cal during pre-game warm up wearing similar foot attire.
Sorry for any confusion.

Thanks, I guess I either did not look far enough out on Getty or maybe there just aren't any on that site or Corbis.Leave a comment:

Re: AMI Cal Ripken Game Worn Cleats
Hello Forum Readers:
I am attaching a link to a current AMI auction of what is reported to be Cal Ripken Jr. game worn mid to late 80's cleats. They are a pair of Adidas black and white cleats. Perhaps I am missing something but I cannot find any record in my photos of Ripken ever wearing anything in games other than the standard Orioles orange and black cleats. They also have the rubber cleats on the bottom not the traditional metal spikes I have always seen on the bottom of Ripken cleats.Leave a comment:

Perhaps Ripken wore these in his backyard playing soccer with Ryan and Rachel. Does anyone have any photographic evidence of Cal ever wearing black and white adidas rubber bottomed cleats in any game of his career?
Any feedback would be appreciated. As always, these come complete with a top of the line 100% Authentic team LOA. We all know there is simply nothing better in the sport.
