Main Page See live article Alphabetical index Lou Gehrig Henry Louis (Lou) Gehrig June 19 June 2 ) was a baseball player and member of the United States Baseball Hall of Fame He was born on Manhattan island in New York, New York , the son of German immigrants . He attended Columbia University , where he was a member of a fraternity , Phi Delta Theta. However, he could not play intercollegiate baseball since he played baseball for a summer professional league during his freshman year. Lou Gehrig was a powerful first baseman, a fine fielder, and loyal teammate. If he was not quite the player his teammate Babe Ruth was, he was a feared sidekick, and a more reliable presence in the lineup. Gehrig played for the New York Yankees , first base, from . In his career he hit 493 home runs and played in 2,130 consecutive games, an endurance record that stood until when Cal Ripken, Jr broke it. Gehrig's streak began when he pinch-hit for Pee-Wee Wanninger on June 1 . The next day, Wally Pipp , the regular first baseman, had a headache, so Gehrig started at first base. He would remain there until 1939. Gehrig won the American League's Most Valuable Player Award twice. The first time, in 1927, was considered controversial: it was the year Ruth hit 60 home runs, but Ruth was not eligible for the award under the rules of the time, having won it before (in 1923). Gehrig did, however, lead the AL with 175 runs batted in. Gehrig won the award again in 1936, with one of his finest offensive seasons.

Shirley Povich Tribute This Morning With Shirley Povich: Iron Horse' Breaks as Athletic Greats Meet in His Honor By Shirley Povich Washington Post Columnist July 4, 1939 Sunday, August 27, 1995; Page D09 More than 56 years ago, on July 5, 1939, Shirley Povich's "This Morning" column in The Washington Post was about the farewell tribute the New York Yankees gave their ailing first baseman Lou Gehrig, who was suffering from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. With Baltimore shortstop Cal Ripken needing only 10 more games to break Gehrig's streak of 2,130 consecutive games played, we thought it timely to reprint Povich's column from that day. Povich, who recently celebrated his 90th birthday, will be at Oriole Park at Camden Yards Sept. 6, writing about Ripken. They had Lou out there at home plate between games of the double-header, with the 60,000 massed in the triple tiers that rimmed the field, microphones and cameras trained on him, and he couldn't take it that way. Tears streamed down his face, circuiting the most famous pair of dimples in baseball, and he looked chiefly at the ground. Seventy-year-old Ed Barrow, president of the Yankees, who had said to newspapermen, "Boys, I have bad news for you," when Gehrig's ailment was diagnosed as infantile paralysis two weeks ago, stepped out of the background halfway through the presentation ceremonies, draped his arm across Gehrig's shoulder. But he was doing more than that. He was holding Gehrig up, for big Lou needed support.
