Cal Ripken, Jr. wore the number 8 for the duration of his professional MLB career as a Baltimore Oriole (21 major league seasons). He did wear the number 7 briefly during the 1981 season with the team, but the number 8 is the team number he was assigned. (The number 7 had been previously worn by shortstop Mark Belanger whom Ripken replaced at the start of the 1982 season as the fulltime shortstop for the ball club).
