Gehrig, Lou (1903-1941) "The Iron Horse." Gehrig played for the New York Yankees 1926-1939. With Babe Ruth he formed baseball's most devastating hitting tandem. He had 13 consecutive seasons with 100 runs scored and 100 Rbis, averaging 139 runs and 148 Rbis. In 1931 he set an American League record with 184 Rbis. He hit a record 23 grand slams, won the 1934 Triple Crown, and played in seven World Series (batting an average .361), leading the Yankees to titles in six of them. After playing 2,130 consecutive games (a record that stood until Cal Ripken, Jr. broke it in 1995), Gehrig was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a rare degenerative disease that is called now called Lou Gehrig's disease. Gehrig was a giant of a baseball player and an outstanding gentleman.
