On April 29, 1923: the Yankees signed Lou Gehrig out of Columbia University… the rest is history.

On May 2, 1939, Lou Gehrig benched himself “for the good of the team,” ending his consecutive game streak at 2,130. But confronting his problem like the hero he was, Lou didn’t hide in the clubhouse, but carried out the scorecard to the umpires. Babe Dahlgren homered and doubled in his place as the Yanks routed the Tigers 22-2 for Red Ruffing.
