Matt Olson Is Chasing MLB Legends On Impressive All-Time List

Atlanta Braves first baseman Matt Olson might not be having a great season like he did the year before, but he is leaving his mark in another way.
MLB stars are getting injured at a higher rate than ever before, but Olson is the closest thing to an “ironman” there is in baseball right now.
The guy just shows up to the ballpark, wears his uniform, and plays.
It doesn’t matter if he is being bothered by a nagging injury or if he has a headache: he plays.
He has been suiting up for 505 straight games by this point, and it’s the longest active streak in baseball.
Only a handful of players have enjoyed longer stints of consecutive games since the turn of the millennium.
“Matt Olson has played 505 consecutive games, dating to 5/2/21. Only longer streaks since 2000: 2000-07 Miguel Tejada: 1,152; 2018-22 Whit Merrifield: 553; 2010-14 Prince Fielder: 547; 2000-03 Alex Rodriguez: 546; 2003-06 Hideki Matsui: 518; 2004-07 Mark Teixeira: 507,” MLB stats expert Sarah Langs tweeted.
