Actually, it was 'players' and they were Mark Belanger and Doug DeCinces.

The Orioles' long time shortstop, Mark Belanger, had left the team following the 1981 season after being platooned with Lenn Sakata, Wayne Krenchicki, and Bobby Bonner. The Orioles' third baseman in 1981, Doug DeCinces, was traded to the California Angels prior to the 1982 season.

Cal's streak began on May 30, 1982 against the Toronto Blue Jays and was the 66th career game he'd played. He spent the 1982 season playing both shortstop (94 starts) and third base (68 starts) before playing only shortstop in the 1983 season.
