Calvin Edwin Ripken Jr, nicknamed “The Iron Man”, was one of his position’s most offensively productive players despite winning two Gold Glove awards for his defense. The hall of famer set the record for the most number of consecutive games played when he notched up 2632 games in a row for Baltimore Oriole between 1982 and 1998.

The closest active players for the record are more than 2000 games behind him. And if any player has ambitions to break this record, they would have to play 16 straight seasons and 41 games more in the 17th season without losing their place in the team for the entire period!

Archie is a WWE and UFC Editor/Author at the SportsRush. Like most combat sports enthusiasts, his passion for watching people fight began with WWE when he witnessed a young Brock Lesnar massacre Hulk Hogan back in 2002. This very passion soon branched out to boxing and mixed martial arts. Over the years he fell in love with the theatrics that preceded the bell and the poetic carnage that followed after. Each bruise a story to tell, each wound a song of struggle, his greatest desire is to be there to witness it all. His favorite wrestler is Shawn Michaels and he believes that GSP is the greatest to ever step foot inside the octagon. Apart from wrestling, he is also fond of poetry and music.
