"He says it's no big deal - he simply shows up for his job every day, just like millions of other working people. But when Baltimore Orioles shortstop Cal Ripken, Jr. reported to the baseball field on September 6, 1995, for a record-breaking 2,131 consecutive time, Americans felt otherwise. In an era of big-money sports, strikes, and grandstanding, the hardest-working ballplayer in the world had singlehandedly put the "great" back in America's greatest game. Now, with the candor and grace that have endeared him to fans, Ripken tells the story of his journey to that moment and beyond. It began in a childhood played out against ball fields (and laundromats) with Cal Ripken, Sr., managing all over the Oriole minor league system. All eyes were on young Cal as a hot high school prospect and into the minor leagues, and he recalls with genuine fondness how he worked his way up from the Rookie League team in Bluefield, West Virginia, to Triple-A in Rochester, New York. Then, in 1981, he got the permanent call from Baltimore. With his arrival in the major leagues, he began the drive to an All-Star career and, almost incidentally, the eventual assault on Lou Gehrig's record. He talks with warmth about his great mentor, Eddie Murray, and other teammates, and with candor about the years with the legendary Earl Weaver, the controversies over his position, and the roller-coaster ride of the eighties as the O's take the World Series and then enter what he calls "the dark years." And through it all, he reflects on the changes he's seen in the whole sport in the last fifteen years, including the way the game is played in Baltimore, the Oriole Way. Best of all, Cal takes us inside the brain of one of the game's smartest players. He dissects the dedication to craft it takes to be a shortstop - especially when you're six-foot-four. He takes us through his strategies at the plate and in the field, his attention to the tiniest detail of positioning, or glove selection, or batting stance. It's a private lesson with one of the true masters of the art of playing baseball. Cal Ripken knows what it means to make a commitment, like the one he's made to his hometown and its team for his whole career, and to his own family. In this rich and rewarding memoir, we find out why he gives back as much as he takes from the game and the fans - it's the only way he knows." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.

"In his own words, here is the story of baseball great Cal Ripken, Jr. - from his childhood in a baseball family to his rise through the minors to his amazing career with the Baltimore Orioles, where he set a record for playing consecutive games that may never be broken. Cal Ripken, Jr.became work-famous when he played his 2,131st consecutive game on September 6, 1995, breaking the record set by Lou Gehrig. But he doesn't think of himself as a legend. He's a regular guy who happens to show up for work - and play his best in every game. In this lively book Cal tells what it was like to travel all over the country as the son of a baseball manager and coach. A talented high school athlete, he was determined to break into the majors - and he did, when the Orioles called him up from Rookie League in 1981. But it was sitting on the bench that inspired his thinking: "Play well and play every day." Starting on May 30, 1982, he played a record 2,632 consecutive games. Ca's reflections on the fame that came when he broke Lou Gehrig's record will be of special interest to young readers, as will his thoughts on the game - breaking a slump, the importance of knowing the basics, and more. Adapted from Cal's bestselling autobiography The Only Way I Know by children's sports writer Dan Gutman, Cal Ripken, Jr: My Story gives a candid picture of a modern-day hero who continues to inspire kids everywhere to do their best, every day." - from the inner front jacket flap.

Cal Ripken Jr. is "nicknamed "The Iron Man", is an American former baseball shortstop and third baseman who played 21 seasons in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Baltimore Orioles (1981 2001). One of his position's most offensively productive players, Ripken compiled 3,184 hits, 431 home runs, and 1,695 runs batted in during his career, and he won two Gold Glove Awards for his defense. He was a 19-time All-Star and was twice named American League (AL) Most Valuable Player (MVP). Ripken holds the record for consecutive games played, 2,632, surpassing Lou Gehrig's streak of 2,130 that had stood for 56 years and that many deemed unbreakable. In 2007, he was elected to the National Baseball Hall of Fame in his first year of eligibility with 98.53% of votes, the sixth-highest election percentage ever. Ripken is considered one of the best shortstops in baseball history. At 6 ft 4 in (1.93 m), 225 lbs. (102 kg), he pioneered the way for the success of taller, larger shortstops. He holds the record for most home runs hit as a shortstop (345), breaking the record previously held by Ernie Banks, and was selected as the starting shortstop for the Major League Baseball All-Century Team." "There aren't many Americans who didn't feel a lump in their throat watching Cal Ripken, Jr. take a historic jog around the bases on the evening of September 6, 1995--the night he smashed Lou Gehrig's record number of 2,130 consecutively played games. But, as "the hardest working man in baseball" will tell you, he was just doing his job. And now he tells you just how he does it, why he does it, and how it makes him feel. With the candor and grace that have endeared him to fans everywhere, Cal Ripken, Jr. tells the story of his journey to the major leagues: of his early childhood and life with a baseball manager for a father; his stint in the minors, working his way up from the Rookie Leagues to Triple-A; and finally, to the permanent call from Baltimore where he began the drive to an All-Star career. Cal talks with warmth of his mentors and teammates, and with honesty of the Orioles roller-coaster ride from the pennant to a lamentable 0-21. Signed by Author(s).
