1991 All-Star Game Cal Ripken Jr. & the Grounds Crew Original Snapshot TYPE I Photo #1

Offered is a 3.5” x 5” original color snapshot TYPE I photo that captures a unique and seldom seen moment from the 1991 MLB All-Star Game at SkyDome, the first Midsummer Classic ever played outside the United States.

The image shows Cal Ripken Jr., wearing number 8 for the Baltimore Orioles, standing on the field as a staged and comedic production unfolds behind him. A white stretch limousine sits on the artificial turf with its trunk open while tuxedo clad groundskeepers rush into position carrying brooms and props, part of a playful “luxury service” gag performed between innings.

This lighthearted sequence, a continuation of a bit introduced the year prior, was elevated in Toronto’s futuristic SkyDome setting and became one of the more memorable entertainment moments in All-Star Game history. The scene would culminate with superstars like Ken Griffey Jr. and Rickey Henderson joining in on the joke.

Unlike standard action shots from the game, this photograph captures a candid, behind the scenes style moment that reflects the spectacle, humor, and presentation that defined the 1991 event.

A compelling and uncommon visual from a historic All-Star Game, ideal for collectors seeking imagery beyond the traditional on-field highlights.

Possibly one of a kind!
