Perry Lipe

Perry Hamilton Lipe (February 14, 1875 – January 25, 1955 in Irving, Illinois, United States) was a long-time minor league baseball player and manager.

His highest-known season batting average was .249, which he accomplished with the Macon Brigands in 1905.

Although he never played major league baseball, Lipe held the distinction of holding the record for most consecutive games in professional baseball at 1,127, until major leaguer Everett Scott bested the record on September 14, 1923.

[1][2][3] The streak was accumulated over seven years, 1903 to 1909, with three different teams (Greenville, Mississippi; Macon, Georgia; and Richmond, Virginia).
