04/12: 2,067 and Counting...
A
discussion at SportsForums.net got me thinking about consecutive game streaks and how Ripken has such a big lead over anyone else. So, I thought about Matsui and decided to look up how many games he was up to now. 494. Then I remembered hearing that he had a consecutive games streak in Japan, as well. So, I looked that up. 1,573. 494 + 1,573 = 2,067. The MLB consecutive games streak is going to be safe for quite a long time and even though Matsui's streak doesn't count for any records, you cannot help but be very impressed by it. I know that there has been some talk of him taking a couple days off this year, so it may come to an end. Nonetheless, impressive.
