1991 All-Star Game Cal Ripken Jr. & the Grounds Crew Original Snapshot TYPE I Photo #2

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 held outside the United States.

This image presents Cal Ripken Jr. from behind, his name and number 8 visible on his Baltimore Orioles uniform as he stands on the field during an in-between innings entertainment sequence. In the background, tuxedo clad groundskeepers sprint across the artificial turf carrying brooms and props, part of a staged and humorous on-field “luxury service” gag. A white stretch limousine with its trunk open is visible nearby, while the outfield wall distance marker “375” helps anchor the scene within the SkyDome setting.

The composition offers a distinctive perspective, contrasting Ripken’s calm, stationary presence with the lively and theatrical action unfolding behind him. It captures the spirit of the event’s showmanship while providing a vantage point rarely seen in widely circulated All-Star imagery.

A scarce and visually engaging photograph from a historic All-Star Game, well suited for advanced collectors seeking uncommon and candid moments beyond standard game action.

Possibly one of a kind!
