Description: "Play Baseball the Ripken Way: The Complete Illustrated Guide to the Fundamentals" by Cal Ripken, Jr. and Bill Ripken with Larry Burke. 2004 Random House. Apparent first edition, 2nd printing (no edition specified on copyright page, first printer's key shows a 2 as lowest number, others show 1 as lowest number). ISBN 1400061229. 251 pages with black and white photos throughout, and a color photo section. Hardcover with dust jacket (w/mylar protector). PSA DNA certification numbered sticker on half title page. The two baseball player authors signed this book on the half title page in black marker. Just the signature, no inscription or personalization. The PSA DNA certification service put their numbered certification sticker on the lower right corner of the signed page. Laid in to the book is a PSA certification card with the same number. Note the card says to call or use the internet to validate the certification, but the website has changed from that printed on the card. The new website is psacard.com . Also laid in is a half sheet of paper with a printed advertisement for the signing of the book at the WordsWorth bookstore on Harvard Square in Cambridge, Mass. on Thursday, April 15 (most likely 2004). Also laid in are a NikeGo bookmark (co-labeled with the Ripken Baseball logo) and a card advertising Ripken Baseball's email newsletter. These were likely included with the book or available at the signing. Cal Ripken Jr. is a MLB hall-of-famer (HOF) who played for 21 seasons with the Baltimore Orioles. He holds the MLB record for consecutive games played. Photos are of the actual book on offer. See the photos for additional insight into content and condition of this baseball fundamentals book signed by a hall of famer (and his brother). A great gift for the Oriole fan or a young player with a baseball future.
