re: Meadowlark Lemon played in approximately 16,000 consecutive games

I loved Meadowlark but

his max per year was 325

so that's a little less than 1,000 for 3 years

so 16,000 would take 48 years?

They probably did some matinee/night doubleheaders but his estimate is probably still heavy, no more than a factor of 2 though.

He was with them for 24 years originally, plus another run in the 90s.

No way it's 16,000... but still, impressive.
