Tejada's consecutive game streak likely to end ends
2007-06-22 08:03
by Bob Timmermann

Jeff Zrebiec and Roch Kubatko of the Baltimore Sun that Orioles shortstop Miguel Tejada will have to end his consecutive games played streak at 1,152 games after further tests on his left wrist indicated a nondisplaced fracture.

Tejada batted in yesterday's game at San Diego, but only bunted and then came out of the game for Chris Gomez. The injury occurred in Wednesday night's game at San Diego when Tejada was hit by a pitch from Doug Brocail.

Tejada's streak is currently the fifth longest in major league history behind:

  1. Cal Ripken 2,632
  2. Lou Gehrig, 2,130
  3. Everett Scott, 1,307
  4. Steve Garvey, 1,207

It's officially over. Tejada was placed on the disabled list today.

Who's got the next longest active streak?

It could be Juan Pierre. Mark Texeira used to have the second longest streak.

I thought Ichiro. But it looked like he missed one game last season.

Pierre is at 731 (final 11 games of 2002, followed by four straight 162-gm seasons, plus 72 this year).

There's one game in there where Pierre just pinch-ran so that doesn't count.

5 The Baseball Tonight crew disagrees with you. They were trumpeting Pierre as the next-longest on last night's show.

I think Pierre is the next-longest, but the number is in doubt.

Juan Pierre = Iron Man.

I found an Star-Telegram report on June 13 that said Pierre was at 336 and Grady Sizemore was next at 259.
