The Baltimore Oriole's autobiography, The Only Way I Know, has been adapted for a young audience. Condensed by over two-thirds and with a simpler sentence structure and narrative style, the book follows Ripken from childhood through the minor leagues and to his record for playing the most consecutive major league games. Illustrated with color plates, the book has sure-fire appeal for young baseball fans.

Illustrated by
Stan Silver.
Accompanied by clear color photos, this is a chatty, informative autobiographical sketch of the Baltimore Orioles shortstop and third baseman who, during the last decade, set the record for the most consecutive games played--2,632 games without a break. Ripken's appealing modesty and easy conversational style make this a natural for young baseball fans.
