Ripken goes hitless in four at-bats, as the Orioles defeat the Minnesota Twins, 1-0.August 1, 1982, the major leagues' all-time home run king is inducted into the Hall of Fame. Hank Aaron, who hit 755 home runs to eclipse Babe Ruth's record, is joined by playing greats Frank Robinson and Travis Jackson and former commissioner Happy Chandler.August 1, 1978, the hitting streak of Cincinnati Reds star Pete Rose ends at 44 games. Rose goes 0-for-4, in the Reds' 16-4 loss to the Atlanta Braves.
