Unless something unforeseen or unthinkable happens, Cal Ripken, the 35-year-old shortstop for the Baltimore Orioles, will play in his 2,131st straight game on Sept. 6, against the California Angels in Oriole Park at Camden Yards.

"My son has basically been under house arrest because we have been too afraid to let him play outside," said Cazim Corovic, 30. "I want to go out with him, show him a zoo and an amusement park, give him fresh fruits to eat. This has been no life for him, and I feel guilty for it."
