"Iron Man" Record
Ripkin passed Lou Gehrig's record of consecutive games played on September 5, 1995. Many sports analysts had believed that Gherig's record would never be broken, especially because of how the game had changed since the 1930s. Ripkin broke the world record for most consecutive games played a year later, surpassing Sachio Kinugasa of Japan with 2,216 games played consecutively. Ripken ended his streak in 1998 at 2,632 games. -
