Ripken, Jr. compiled 3,184 hits, 431 home runs, and 1,695 runs batted in
during his career, and he won two Gold Glove Awards for his defense. He
was a 19-time All-Star and was twice named AL MVP. Ripken is best known
for holding the record for consecutive games played, 2,632, surpassing
Lou Gehrig's streak of 2,130 that had stood for 56 years and that many
deemed unbreakable. In 2007, he was elected into the National Baseball
Hall of Fame in his first year of eligibility, and currently has the
fourth highest voting percentage of all-time (98.53%).
