Well, Cal Ripken Jr. had like 2,631 games before he missed one. I think it makes a difference how long you've been in the league !!! Not missing a game if you've only got a couple of years in the Majors isn't quite the same. I'm sticking with Cal.
Cal Ripken Jr played in 2,632 straight games spanning sixteen seasons, from May 30, 1982 to September 20, 1998.
Ripken's 2,131st consecutive game broke the previous record [2130] which was set by Lou Gehrig.

That distinction goes to Cal Ripken Jr. who played in 2,632 consecutive games between May 30, 1982 and September 20, 1998.
Joe DiMaggio - 56 consecutive games with a base hit in 1941.
In 1990, Ryne Sandberg set a major league record with 123 consecutive games at second base without committing an error. While Sandberg's mark still stands as the National League record, in 2007 the Detroit Tigers' Placido Polanco took the Major League record. Polanco finished the 2007 season with 188 consecutive errorless games, dating back to July 1, 2006.
