Ripken, known as baseball’s “Iron Man” for playing in a world record 2,632 consecutive games, spent 21 seasons in the major leagues and was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 2007. Since his retirement, Ripken has continued to help grow the game through Ripken Baseball and its youth complexes, while placing a strong focus on giving back to underserved communities through the Cal Ripken, Sr. Foundation.
