Lou Gehrig

Henry Louis Gehrig, born Ludwig Heinrich Gehrig (June 19, 1903 – June 2, 1941), was an American first baseman in Major League Baseball who played his entire career for the New York Yankees and was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1939. Along with teammate Babe Ruth, Gehrig anchored one of the most powerful offenses in baseball history. He was known as The Iron Horse for his reliability; he played in every Yankees game for nearly 14 years, setting a record that stood until 1995. His career was prematurely ended by amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, a degenerative terminal illness which came to be widely known as "Lou Gehrig's Disease."
