Lou Gehrig Day Committee

Welcome to the Twitter home of Lou Gehrig Day committee, an annual MLB tradition on June 2, starting in 2021, to honor him and raise awareness for ALS!

[New York Yankees @Yankees]

Yes, @SlangsOnSports, baseball loves you back! #HOPEweek

[HopOnACure @HopOnACure]

Thank you Cincinnati 💙

We're blown away by the response and overwhelming support we received.

Over 45K fans ... the most @reds stadium has EVER SEEN BEFORE.

ALS is not incurable, it's underfunded. More than $200K raised will go to research we believe will make a difference.

[Mark Kirton @KirtSpeaksALS]

Surprise visit from 2 of the greatest teammates one can ever have. When someone is struggling the unconditional support is immediate. This is what friendships are all about. Lou Gehrig day & start of ALS June awareness month makes it more special. Thank you, MLB, for what you do!

[Lou Gehrig Day Committee @LG4Day]

Memorabilia fans! Bid on some #LouGehrigDay equipment, including game-used jersey, a special Lou Gehrig Day bats, and baseballs, all benefiting various ALS organizations!

On Lou Gehrig day, we are sharing the story of Sam Hilliard, whose family was impacted by ALS.

Sam spoke with us about honoring his late father and the work he now does to #StrikeOutALS through @TeamHilliardALS.

thanks SO MUCH to the players, chosen for personal links to ALS + passion for the game akin to Gehrig's

Congratulations Brandon for the well-deserved Lou Gehrig Memorial Award!

[Phi Delta Theta @phidelt]

Brandon Crawford (@bcraw35) of the @SFGiants has won this year’s Lou Gehrig Memorial Award, presented annually by Phi Delta Theta Fraternity to a Major League Baseball player who best exemplifies the giving character of Hall of Famer Lou Gehrig. https://t.co/Z7MuNCnJF7 @MLB ⚾️

[Lou Gehrig Day Committee @LG4Day]

@TruthAls @alsassociation @BryanWayneMusic no. All MLB donations, which are sizeable, go to the Healy Center.

No one is forgetting BWayne, we constantly talk about him and his wife is on the committee!

Do you have sources or do you just make things up?
