That year, Ripken also won the AL <a href="/wiki/Major_League_Baseball_Rookie_of_the_Year_Award" title="Major League Baseball Rookie of the Year Award">Rookie of the Year Award</a> and began his consecutive games played streak. In 1983, he won a <a href="/wiki/1983_World_Series" title="1983 World Series">World Series</a> championship over the <a href="/wiki/Philadelphia_Phillies" title="Philadelphia Phillies">Philadelphia Phillies</a> and his first AL MVP Award.

He broke the consecutive games played record on September 6, 1995, in his 2,131st consecutive game, which fans voted as the league's "most memorable moment" in the history of the game in an MLB.com poll; Ripken voluntarily ended his 17-year streak at 2,632 games before the final home game of the 1998 season. He switched back to third base for the final five years of his career. In 2001, his final season, Ripken was named the All-Star Game MVP and was honored with the <a href="/wiki/Commissioner%27s_Historic_Achievement_Award" title="Commissioner&#39;s Historic Achievement Award">Commissioner's Historic Achievement Award</a>. </p><p>Ripken is considered one of the best shortstops in baseball history. At 6&#160;ft 4&#160;in (1.93&#160;m), 225&#160;lb (102&#160;kg), he pioneered the way for the success of taller, larger shortstops. He holds the record for most home runs hit as a shortstop, at 345, breaking the record of 298 previously held by <a href="/wiki/Ernie_Banks" title="Ernie Banks">Ernie Banks</a>, and was selected as the starting shortstop for the <a href="/wiki/Major_League_Baseball_All-Century_Team" title="Major League Baseball All-Century Team">Major League Baseball All-Century Team</a>. Ripken is a best-selling author and the President and CEO of Ripken Baseball, Inc., whose goal is to expand the love of baseball from a grassroots level.
