If you ask a baseball fan to pick one visual that best represents September 6, 1995, it’d probably be the numbers hanging from the B&O Warehouse that night at Oriole Park at Camden Yards

That’s where “2,130” turned to “2,131”a ceremonial declaration that Cal Ripken Jr. had just broken Lou Gehrig’s record for most consecutive games played in Major League Baseball history.
