On this day in 2006 Hideki Matsui's streak of playing in every game since coming over to the United States was snapped after breaking his wrist sliding for a ball in left field. Matsui's streak began on Opening Day of 2003 and was snapped at 518 consecutive games which was a major league record for consecutive games to start a career breaking Ernie Banks previous record of 424 straight games.
