Description: "The Only Way I Know" by Cal Ripken, Jr. and Mike Bryan - 1st EDITION Hardcover w/Dustjacket - Published in 1997 by Viking - 324 pages (16 pages of great color and black & white photos) and one special Cal Ripken, Jr. 2-1/2" x 3-1/2" insert card (one of ten special Cal Ripken cards was inserted as a contest in each copy of this book) - book is in EXCELLENT condition; DJ is very good. With Highlights from the 1997 Season. Cal Ripkin Jr. tells the story of his journey to the major leagues and into the record books: growing up with a baseball manager father, moving up through the minors, establishing an All-Star career and almost incidentally, taking on Lou Gehrig's record for consecutive games played, the record he surpassed on September 6, 1995. He talks warmly about his mentors and teammates, and candidly about baseball in the era of big money and big business. He discusses in depth his strategies at the plate and on the field. Best of all, Cal reveals what makes him tick: his commitment to his family, to his team, and to baseball itself. There is some minor edge wear on the DJ, but this book is still in very nice condition and includes the insert car which is usually missing from most copies of this book.
