A MINOR OBIT
MLB’s longest consecutive playing streak belongs to Cal Ripken Jr, who played 2,632 consecutive games for the Baltimore Orioles. His replacement on the would-be #2,633 was one Ryan Minor, who played 142 games total across his entire career. Before that he had a brief basketball career with the Oklahoma City Cavalry. Of far more interest to deadpoolers was a colon cancer battle that rendered him a cult Yahoo gamble this year, and would’ve been a popular lad next year after recently beginning hospice. He was 49 and Fade to Black rises to second, but it’s likely too little too late as leader Banana’s Peel Slippers extends his lead with a week left.
