In September of 1998, Baltimore Oriole Cal Ripken, Jr., sat out a
game, voluntarily ending his remarkable streak of 2,632 consecutive
games played. Between the years of 1925 and 1939, New York Yankee
Lou Gehrig played 2,130 consecutive games, a record which many fans
thought would never be broken. Since the beginning of major league
baseball, 124 players - Ripken and Gehrig among them - have held
the title of Iron Man, a designation reserved for the active player
with the most consecutive games played. This reference book
contains an historical and statistical review of each player who
has held the title of Iron Man. From Paul Hines (1876) to Miguel
Tejada (2004), the players are arranged chronologically with
information addressing the beginning and ending date of each streak
as well as basic biographical details. Statistics include games
played, at-bats, runs scored, hits, home runs, runs batted in,
strikeouts and batting average. Appendices provide a chronological
listing and season-by-season review of major league Iron Men;
longest consecutive playing streaks (500 or more games) with their
dates and progression; miscellaneous consecutive games played
records; and a season-by-season review of players' perfect
attendance.
