Lou gehrig held the record broken by Cal Ripkem Jr. with 2,130 consecutive games played. The streak started on June 1, 1925 pinch hitting. The following day he was put into the line up for the slumping Wally Pipp, and never looked back. He would play the last game of the streak on April 30th 1939. After a day off, on May 2, 1939, Babe Dahlgen took Gehrig's place in the line up ending a 14-year, 2,130 consecutive game streak.
