How many double-headers did Cal Ripken Jr. play in back-to-back during his consecutive games played streak?

Answer 1

If the question is how many times did Cal Ripken Jr. play in both games of a double header during his streak of 2,632 consecutive games played, the answer is 60 double-headers. So, 120 games of the 2,632 were part of double headers.

If the question is how many times did he play in a double header on two consecutive days, the answer is once. The Orioles played back-to-back double headers on August 28-29, 1986.

Ironically, the streak began on May 30, 1982, the day after the Orioles played a double header in which Cal sat out the second game after playing in the first.

He played in at least one double header every year during the streak except 1995 and the year it ended in 1998.
