2001 Topps Series 2: Iron Men

Thursday, June 4th, 2009
2001 Topps Combos #TC16 Cal Ripken/Lou Gehrig

2001 Topps Combos #TC16 Cal Ripken/Lou Gehrig

2001 Topps series 2:

  1. #558 Brian Moehler
  2. #572 Joe Mays
  3. #442 Rondell White
  4. #595 Dave Mlicki
  5. #704 Cristian Guzman
  6. Combos #TC16 Cal Ripken/Lou Gehrig
  7. #455 Eric Karros
  8. #699 Chad Kreuter
  9. #610 Bill Haselman
  10. #416 Matt Mantei

Some called Lou Gehrig’s streak of 2,130 consecutive games a record that would never be broken.  Then along came Cal Ripken a half-century later with a run of 2,632.  While no record is unassailable, the legacy of these two “Iron men” will last forever.  Each earned two Most Valuable Player Awards.  Gehrig won a Triple Crown in 1934 and compiled a .361 World Series batting average.  Ripken topped the 3,000-hit milestone and, in 2000, was selected to play in his 18th consecutive All-Star Game.
