Matt Olson’s Historic Streak | Atlanta Braves News

Matt Olson just shattered another baseball milestone, logging his 896th consecutive game — now eighth all-time for most games played in a row, passing Stan Musial. He began this historic streak with the A’s in 2021 and holds the longest active streak in MLB, far ahead of Pete Alonso. Remarkably, he’s started nearly every game — even benching himself once in 2022, he still suited up at first base to preserve the streak. This level of consistency and grit is rare today, showcasing his durability and relentless drive. If he keeps going, he could hit 944 games by season’s end and climb into the top five by 2028 — though Cal Ripken’s 2,632-game record remains out of reach, Olson is rewriting history one game at a time.
