'''Perry Hamilton Lipe''' (February 14, 1875 – January 25, 1955 in [Irving, Illinois](/source/Irving%2C_Illinois), United States) was a long-time minor league baseball player and manager.

He played from 1898 to 1916, though a statistical record from 1901 to 1916 is all that is available. In that time, the third basemen perennially hit near the [Mendoza Line](/source/Mendoza_Line), hitting below .200 at least three times. His highest-known season batting average was .249, which he accomplished with the [Macon Brigands](/source/Macon_Brigands) in 1905. Although he never played major league baseball, Lipe held the distinction of holding the record for most consecutive games in professional baseball at 1,127, until major leaguer [Everett Scott](/source/Everett_Scott) bested the record on September 14, 1923.<ref>[https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=JUAvAAAAIBAJ&sjid=AOAFAAAAIBAJ&pg=5218,5547075&dq=perry-lipe&hl=en News Article]</ref><ref name=spalding>{{cite book|title=Spalding's official baseball record|page=384|year=1915|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=X1PzAAAAMAAJ&q=perry+lipe+&pg=PA384}}</ref><ref name=chadwick>{{cite book|title=Spalding's official baseball record|page=339|year=1916|editor=Chadwick, H. |editor2=Foster, J.B. |editor3=White, C.D.|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=CuEWAAAAYAAJ&q=perry+lipe&pg=RA2-PA266}}</ref>   The streak was accumulated over seven years, 1903 to 1909, with three different teams (Greenville, Mississippi; Macon, Georgia; and Richmond, Virginia).<ref name=spalding/><ref name=chadwick/>  Lipe missed only a single [inning](/source/inning) - the ninth inning of a game on June 10, 1909 - during the streak.<ref name=spalding/><ref name=chadwick/>

He managed the Brigands (1906-1907), [Richmond Colts](/source/Richmond_Colts) (1908-1909), [Macon Peaches](/source/Macon_Peaches) (1910-1911), [Savannah Indians](/source/Savannah_Indians) (1912), [Savannah Colts](/source/Savannah_Colts) (1913 to 1915) and [Albany Babies](/source/Albany_Babies) (1916). He led the Richmond Colts (1908) and Savannah Colts (1914) to league championships.
