question about Ripkens streak

[colts1888]

I have a question abotu Cal Ripken Jr's streak. How did he play in all those consercutive if not once did he play a full season. I have been wondering this for the longest and never really found an answer hopefully that can change now. Any help is much appreciated

 

[Russ S.]

Um. What do you mean he never played a full season?

You ARE mistaken.

 

[colts1888]

looking through his stats he only played in 162 3 times during that time

 

[Russ S.]

He did play a full season in every season until 1996.

2632 Games consecutively played isn't possible if he didn't play a full season.

that is when his streak was but only 11 times during this time did he play a full year all 162 games

 

[trolea1234]

94 and 95 was during the strike.

 

[chuckbartowski]

The years at 161 are probably years where there was a rain out and they didn't make up the game...94 and 95 were because of the strike.

true, if its rained out and your not a contender then they usually dont make them up. baltimore was pretty bad for alot of his years

 

[colts1888]

yea I knew about the 94 and 95 seasons didnt really think about the rain outs. I assumed they wouldve made them up. thanks for the help

 

[JEBJJA]

+1.......EVERY TEAM HAS A 162 GAME SCHEDULE.....That was a foolish statement to say not all teams have a 162 season for every team :lol: .
