September 6, 1995: Cal Ripken plays in his 2,131st consecutive game, breaking Lou Gehrig's long-standing record. The record becomes official after the Angels are retired in the top of the 5th and play is stopped for 22 minutes as Ripken takes a lap around Camden Yards. To complete the perfect evening, Ripken hits a home run off Shawn Boskie in the 4th inning, and the Orioles go on to win by a score of 4-2.
