Pro Career 1989

Cal Ripken Fielding

Hit dramatic three-run homer off Bos's Roger Clemens Opening Day to erase 1-3 deficit and key O's 5-4 win. Led the club in hits (166), doubles (30) and RBI (93) and was second to Mickey Tettleton in homers (26 to 21).
Combined with Brother Bill for seven hits (Cal-3 and Bill-4) on August 2, the night the O's came from a 0-6 deficit at Boston to win after losing 13 of their last 14 games. According to Al Kermisch, the only brother combo to surpass that combined total was the Waners (Paul and Lloyd) who had three and five respectively for the Bucs on June 25, 1932.
Went 40 games without a home run from April 10 (Frank Viola) until May 29 (Nolan Ryan). That was the longest homerless streak of his career, until 1992.
