🗓️ This Day in History – September 6
1995 – Cal Ripken Jr. breaks the consecutive games record
That’s not my Tony Stark—
but he might be twice as durable.
Flexing wooden sinews
woven tight around the stock and barrel
of a 30-inch club,
ready to bounce balls straight through
the atmospheric Baltimore
that Poe
pooh-poohed in the ‘80s.
