About this Item

Hall of Fame shortstop Cal Ripken Jr., baseball's famed 'Iron Man,' distills the lessons that guided his record-setting career into eight principles of perseverance, leadership, preparation, integrity, and personal growth. Drawing on stories from Major League Baseball, family influences - especially his father Cal Ripken Sr. - and his transition into business leadership, Ripken presents a practical motivational guide applicable far beyond sports. Chapters address values, success, preparation, anticipation, relationships, life management, and conviction, making the book appealing to baseball collectors, Orioles fans, sports leadership readers, and business-motivation enthusiasts alike.

This copy is a First Edition/First Printing confirmed by the complete number line ending in '1' on the copyright page. Book condition: Near Fine. Clean tan-and-black boards with sharp gilt spine lettering, tight binding, square corners, and clean interior pages free of writing or markings. Dust jacket condition: Near Fine. Original unclipped jacket with light edge wear, minor rubbing, and a few superficial surface scuffs visible on the rear panel; no tears or losses. Overall an attractive collector-grade first printing.

Cal Ripken Jr. (b. 1960) spent his entire 21-year Major League career with the Baltimore Orioles and is widely regarded as one of baseball's most respected figures. A two-time American League MVP and Hall of Fame inductee (2007), he famously surpassed Lou Gehrig's consecutive-games-played record with 2,632 straight games. Co-author Donald T. Phillips is a bestselling business and leadership writer known for applying historical and sports-based lessons to management and personal development.
