Sad story out of Texas that their manager, Ron Washington failed a drug test (tested positive for cocaine) last summer:

I've been kind of fan of Wash since he holds a special place in Ripken history. In addition to having the record for most consecutive games played, Cal Jr. ALSO holds the MLB record for most consecutive innings played (8,243 consecutive innings; 1982-1987). When Cal sat out the last defensive inning of a game they were being blown out in Toronto in September 1987, the player who replaced him at shortstop for that last half inning was none other than Ron Washington.

Fortunately, knowing the history, I was able to pick up the jersey that Ron Washington wore to "break the streak" that evening for a song about 10 years ago..
