The Streak 2131 Night : "I know that if Lou Gehrig is looking down on tonights activities, he is'nt concerned about someone playing more consecutive games than he did. Instead he is veiwing tonight as a example of what is right and good about this great American game." -Cal Ripken, Jr. |

The record was formally held by New York Yankee Lou Gehrig. Some say Lou Gehrig was the greatest first baseman ever to play the game. He played every game from June 1, 1925 to May 2, 1939. His streak ended when a disease started affecting the nerves that controlled his muscles. He died of the illness - now known as the Lou Gehrig desease - just two years later. |
