BALTIMORE, Md. (CBSDC) – Cal Ripken Jr. is auctioning off his truck.

It’s not just any truck though. Cal is opening a bidding war on the 1994 Chevy Suburban he drove to Camden Yards during the years ramping up to him breaking Gehrig’s consecutive games played record.

Nobody thought anyone would touch Lou Gehrig’s streak of 2,130 consecutive games streak, but on September 5, 1995 Ripken tied it, and on September 6, 1995, he broke the untouchable mark that stood for 56 years.

And now Cal is ready to let go of a little piece of history. That Chevy Suburban, which he drove to Oriole Park at Camden Yards the nights he tied and surpassed Lou Gehrig’s consecutive games played streak, is currently taking bids in an online auction that runs until Tuesday, August 28 at 8:00 p.m.

The Suburban that Cal says he also drove to games during the 1996 and 1997 post-seasons, is being showcased at Miller Brothers Chevrolet in Ellicott City until September 6, where fans can visit and view the truck.

Ripken had this to say of the auction:

“Kelly and I thought that the time was right and we thought it would be a fun way to celebrate the streak in light of the wonderful honor the Orioles are bestowing on me this year. We have been very focused on helping kids and building fields and the funds raised from the sale of this truck will help us continue to do that. We had many great times in the Suburban and the memories will last forever. I hope that enthusiastic baseball fans and collectors will view this as a very unique piece of memorabilia.”

The winning bidder will receive first class airfare and lodging for two to Baltimore where they will be invited to attend the Sports Legends Museum Gala honoring Cal and fellow Hall of Famer Eddie Murray on September 5th, as well as Cal’s statue unveiling at Camden Yards on September 6th. During this time they will meet Cal and receive the keys to the truck from him.
