What is the value of a Cal Ripken Jr 3000th hit autographed baseball?

Special baseballs were used for Cal Ripken Jr's 2131'st consecutive game played but, these baseballs were also made available to the public. The baseballs are worth about $10.-$20. in near/mint condition with the box. The added value of the baseball being used in game 2131 will rely on your ability to prove so. The stronger the provenance the more valuable. A letter of provenance from a player, team or league official would be acceptable. A letter from a fan that attended the game would hold little weight if any. If you cannot supply such provenance the baseball will be valued as a used baseball, not a game used baseball, and could have a lower value based on condition. The value of the baseball will rely on the weight the buyer of the baseball puts in your story.

What were some of the modern batting stats for baseball player Cal Ripken in 1993?

In 1993, Cal Ripken played for the Baltimore Orioles. On Base Percentage (OBP) is considered by many to be a better measure of a great hitter than the Batting Average. It is calculated with the formula (Hits + Walks + Hit by Pitch) / (At Bats + Walks + Hit by Pitch + Sacrifice Flies). In 1993, Cal Ripken had 641 at bats, 165 hits, 65 walks, and was hit by the pitch 6 times. He had 6 sacrifice flies. That gives him an On Base Percentage of .329. Slugging Percentage (SLG) is a popular measure of a batter's power. It is calculated as (Total Bases) / (At Bats). Another way to look at it is (Singles + 2 x Doubles + 3 x Triples + 4 x Home Runs) / (At Bats). In 1993, Cal Ripken had 641 at bats, and hit 112 singles, 26 doubles, 3 triples, and 24 home runs, for a .420 slugging percentage. Being able to get on base and to hit for power are two of the most important offensive skills in baseball, so the On Base Percentage and Slugging Percentage are often added together. On-base plus slugging (OPS) is a sabermetric baseball statistic. The best hitters in Major League Baseball can achieve an OPS of .900 or higher. In 1993, Cal Ripken had a .329 On Base Percentage and a .420 Slugging Percentage for an OPS of .748. Runs Created (RC) is a baseball statistic invented by Bill James to estimate the number of runs a hitter contributes to his team. There are a number of formulas used to calculate it. One of the simplest is (On Base Percentage) × (Total Bases). In 1993, Cal Ripken had a .329 On Base Percentage and 269 Total Bases for 88.42 Runs Created.
