Cal Ripken Jr. Long Island Newsday printing plate. This was used on the cover over the paper when Cal broke Gehrigs streak. Ripken is perhaps best known for breaking New York Yankees first baseman Lou Gehrig's record for consecutive games played, a record many deemed unbreakable. He surpassed the 56-year-old record when he played in his 2,131st consecutive game on September 6, 1995, against the California Angels. The printing plate is made of tin and measures 14.5" wide by 21.0" high.
