  • Article Title
    General Admission Consecutive Games Played by S. Derby Gisclair Member, Society for American Baseball Research On September 6, 1995, Cal Ripken, Jr. broke Lou Gehrig’s 56-year old consecutive game streak as the Baltimore Orioles beat the California Angels, 4 – 2, before a sellout crowd of 46,272 in Camden Yards. His streak began on May 30, 1982 and would eventually end at the end of the 1998 season with an incredible 2,632 consecutive games. Baltimore’s non-stop shortstop played his final game on October 6, 2001 against the Boston Red Sox before a crowd of 48,807 fans including former President Clinton and Commissioner Bud Selig. Unfortunately, Ripken went 0-for-3 as the Orioles lost to the Red Sox, 5 – 1. What I find truly remarkable is that Ripken’s consecutive game streak means that he played 87.5% of his career – roughly 17-1/2 years out of 20 years – without missing a single game. Can you even imagine not missing a single day of work in 17-1/2 years? This led me to review the other ironmen who had posted significant consecutive game streaks, beginning with Lou Gehrig. Gehrig’s consecutive game streak began on June 1, 1925 as Gehrig replaced Yankee first baseman Wally Pipp in the lineup. It would end 2,130 games later on May 2, 1939. Oddly enough, Wally Pipp was in the stands, having traveled from his home in Grand Rapids to watch the Yankees and the Tigers play in Detroit. What he saw was Yankee captain Gehrig presenting the lineup card to the home plate umpire with his name removed for the first time in fifteen years.
