Cal Ripken, Jr. of the Baltimore Orioles becomes the second major leaguer to play in 2,000 consecutive games

On August 1, 1994, Baltimore’s Cal Ripken becomes the second player in history to appear in 2,000 consecutive games, as the Orioles shut out the Twins, 1 – 0, behind Arthur Rhodes, who was recalled from Triple-A Rochester just yesterday. Ripken goes hitless in four at bats. Cal’s streak will go on hold at 2,009 when the strike commences. Jeff Conine has the second-longest streak held by a current player, a span of 267 consecutive contests for Florida.
