The two streaks are unrelated. However, they would be more comparable if we knew what Ripken's stats were had he been allowed three of the nine spots in the batting order and had his teammates pitch to him.  Point being Cal had far less control on the outcome of any game and would need to rely on teammates to get him more ABs as well of course as more runs and rbi. Lebron--gimme the ball and when I play I'll generate the stats.
Thus mostly apples and oranges.
