He was then fortunate enough to play his entire Hall of Fame career with his hometown team.

The digital memorabilia is the second collection released by Ripken and Candy Digital. The first was The Cal Ripken Jr. Rookie Collection, which honored his first season in 1982 when he won AL Rookie of the Year. This first collection sold out in less than one minute.

“Continuing this wonderful partnership with Candy Digital is a unique and fun way to connect with other baseball fans and share some of my favorite career moments,” said Ripken Jr., who holds the MLB record with 2,632 consecutive games played. “As a Baltimore area kid, I grew up as a fan of the Orioles and then was lucky enough to spend my entire career with my hometown team. Now thanks to the amazing technology behind digital collectibles, some of the moments I shared in person with fans all those years ago can be shared once again.

“From receiving the MVP Award in 1983 to that home run in 1993 that gave me the most ever homers by a shortstop, these moments can be preserved and shared with fans in a whole new way. The first collection I partnered with Candy Digital on focused on 1982, my rookie season. This newest collection allows me to share more memories from my personal collection. I am excited to relive and rediscover these moments with baseball fans everywhere.”
