“Some called Lou Gehrig’s streak of 2,130 consecutive games a record that would never be broken. Then along came Cal Ripken a half-century later with a run of 2,632. While no record is unassailable, the legacy of these two “Iron men” will last forever. Each earned two Most Valuable Player Awards. Gehrig won a Triple Crown in 1934 and compiled a .361 World Series batting average. Ripken topped the 3,000-hit milestone and, in 2000, was selected to play in his 18th consecutive All-Star Game.“
