Cal Ripken is a distinguished American baseball player who played 21 seasons in Major League Baseball for the Baltimore Orioles (1981-2001).Among his many achievements, the most important one is that he holds the record for playing in 2,632 consecutive games over more than 16 years.

What is the probability that a baseball player breaks Cal Ripken’s record?
