Streaks That Define Baseball Legends | MLB News

Pete Alonso just shattered the Mets’ record with 500 straight games played, but the real magic lies in the legends behind him—Cal Ripken’s 2,632 and Lou Gehrig’s 2,130. Meanwhile, Matt Olson is on a historic run of his own, closing in on Dale Murphy’s Braves record with 864 games played, 700+ for Atlanta. These streaks aren’t just stats—they’re proof of relentless dedication, physical grit, and mental toughness. Elsewhere, the Blue Jays’ six-game skid barely moves them from the playoff race, while Tampa Bay’s Junior Caminero lit up the scoreboard with 3 homers and 6 RBIs. And in Philly, the Phillies are riding wild comebacks against the Nationals, who keep blowing late leads—showing how fast baseball’s momentum can flip.
