==Background==
In 1941, endurance by an athlete was recognized as an "iron man" by the press when Lou Gehrig had a streak of 2,130 consecutive games end when he had asked the manager to take him out of the line up due to his fading abilities. Gehrig had been a consistent performer on the field having attained a batting average of at least .300 throughout his career until the previous season when he had fallen to .295.〔(LOU GEHRIG’S CONSECUTIVE GAME STREAK ENDS AT 2,130 )〕 A common characteristic of an iron man is the ability to play through injury. Gehrig displayed this trait in 1934 when his streak was in jeopardy of being snapped at 1,427 games. He had been injured during a game and was pulled from the lineup. The next day, after receiving heat treatments and massages for a stiff back, he was able to get a hit before leaving the contest.〔(Lou Gehrig’s Streak Should Have Ended at Navin Field — Not Briggs Stadium )〕〔(The Original Iron Man )〕 Gehrig's record stood for 62 years until surpassed by Cal Ripken Jr. in 1995.〔(Lou Gehrig breaks record by playing in his 1,308th straight game )〕〔(Ripken breaks record for consecutive games played )〕 After Ripken's record-breaking streak garnered attention from the media,〔(Cal Ripken's 2131 night- A Record That Saved Baseball )〕 the NBA's A.C. Green received attention for his own streak of consecutive games played in 1997 as he was approaching Randy Smith's record.〔(Move over Cal Ripken. A.C. Green of the Mavericks )〕 Then in 1999, Brett Favre set the record for consecutive starts by a quarterback when he started his 117th consecutive game surpassing the mark established by Ron Jaworski.〔(History Release: Iron Man )〕 In 2009, Favre would surpass Jim Marshall's starts streak at any position with his 271st consecutive start.〔(Favre runs iron-man streak to 271, breaks Marshall's record )〕
The iron man streak can also be ended due to ill discipline. On 3 November 2015, Matt Kenseth was suspended after he caused a crash that ended Joey Logano's race, and NASCAR handed a 2-race suspension, ending his streak at 571 as an active pursuant.
