Whose consecutive game streak did Lou Gehrig beat?
I'm doing a project on Lou Gehrig for social studies class. I was wondering whose record Lou beat. I have like 15 minutes left in study hall, so any help is appreciated. Thanks!
I believe it was Everett Scott.
edit: Yep, according to wikipedia, Scott had a 1307 game streak from June 20th, 1916 to May 5, 1925. Gehrig started his streak on June 1, 1925 and ironically Scott and Gehrig were teammates in 1925 for the Yankees.
