One fine baseball afternoon on June 15th, 1923, the New York Yankees' first baseman, Wally Pipp, was injured and one Lou Gehrig substitued for him...and then never missed the line-up for another 2,130 games thus earning the nickname "The Iron Horse." A record that stood, BTW, till Cal Ripken, Jr. broke it just few years back. So you could say that Wally was "pipped."
That the etymology, there, Faldo?
