Ripken Obsession Fills Wellington Man's Home Shrine
Ellington Kansas AP Carl Cal Ripken memorabilia dominates Dave Peterson's dining room and a closet, a "Ripken Shrine" housing posters, autographs, balls, caps, and even a milk carton. He began in 1990 hoping to match Gehrig's streak, but now values the collection more as a personal homage than a saleable asset.

Ripken Ties Gehrig Streak With 2130 Consecutive Games
