2023 Candy Legends: Cal Ripken Jr.

Cal Ripken Jr. - 1983 Most Valuable Player Award (60/188)

In 1983, during his second season, Cal Ripken Jr. hit .318 with 27 home runs and 102 RBI, a performance that led him to winning the MVP Award. He led the majors in hits (211) and doubles (47) and posted an American League best 121 runs scored that season. His historic season culminated with the Orioles taking the American League Eastern crown after posting a 98-64 record, a 3-1 American League Championship triumph over the Chicago White Sox, and a World Series championship over the Philadelphia Phillies, 4-1 - the franchise’s first title since 1970. For the first time, Cal Ripken Jr. has shared memorabilia from his personal collection for collectors and fans to enjoy. Cal selected pieces from his historical baseball highlights with Candy Digital for high resolution volumetric scans - to create photorealistic digital versions of highlights from his legendary career. Reflecting every scuff and scratch, these scans are as close to the real thing you can get - unless you're the Iron Man himself.
