Cal Ripken Jr. discusses coming into the Orioles’ organization and choosing to be an everyday player instead of a pitcher.

On September 6, 1995, Cal Ripken Jr. took measure of his place in baseball history, and said, “I know that if Lou Gehrig is looking down on tonight’s activities, he isn’t concerned about someone playing one more consecutive game than he did. Instead, he’s viewing tonight as just another example of what is good and right about the great American game.” That evening, Ripken played in his 2,131st consecutive game, breaking Gehrig’s “unbreakable record.” . . .

8/5/1914 – A Federal League contest featured St. Louis at Pittsburgh. Neither team scored in the first five innings. The St. Louis sixth frame went like this: John Misse singled to right. Mike Simon singled to left and Misse advanced to second base. Bob Groom tried to sacrifice but the bunt went for a hit to load the bases. Jack Tobin forced Misse at the plate. LeRue Kirby hit a fly to center that was misjudged by Rebel Oakes, turning a sacrifice fly into an inside-the-park grand slam. However, Kirby stepped to the plate in Delos Drake’s batting spot. When Pittsburgh pointed out the mistake, Drake was ruled out and the three runners were sent back to their respective bases because of the batting out of order. Kirby stepped to the plate again and this time he singled to right to score two runs. When Frank Delahanty misplayed the ball, Groom scored and Kirby advanced to third base. Hughie Miller popped out to shortstop to end the inning. St. Louis scored three runs instead of four in the frame and Pittsburgh plated two runners in the bottom of the inning for the only runs of the game. So, the batting out of order did not cost the visitors the win.
