who played his entire career for the Baltimore Orioles from 1981 to
2001. A 19-time MLB All-Star,

shortstops.Ripken earned the nickname "Iron Man," doggedly remaining in
the lineup despite numerous minor injuries. He played in a record 2,632
straight games spanning sixteen seasons, from May 30, 1982 to September
20, 1998. He played his 2,131st consecutive game on September 6, 1995,

the "Iron Horse" Lou Gehrig, the legendary New York Yankees
first baseman. Ripken hit a home run in game 2,130 and game 2,131,
moving fans to the point that his 2,131st consecutive game was named
Major League Baseball's "Most Memorable Moment" in MLB history.Ripken
