Since 2021, @MLB has observed Lou Gehrig Day on June 2 to raise awareness of ALS and those afflicted with the disease that affects the nervous system. Gehrig, a Hall of Fame first baseman with the New York Yankees, died on June 2, 1941 — his 37th birthday — from ALS.

A 2021 resolution adopted by @AmericanLegion encourages “every American Legion Baseball team to observe a moment of silence before their game(s) each year on June 2 in memory of Major League Baseball’s great Lou Gehrig and all veterans who suffer or have died from ALS.” (2/3)

Thank you to those Hall of Famers for their service, and thank you to the @baseballhall for what's sure to be a memorable event on Memorial Day Weekend.

Seventy Hall of Famers put their careers on hold to serve their country during wartime.

This Memorial Day Weekend, participants in the Hall of Fame Military Classic will honor that legacy when they wear special wool uniforms from @EbbetsVintage. https://t.co/HVp713EYUH

The flag that Rick Monday rescued 50 years ago today is headed to Cooperstown!

OTD in 1976, Monday, a Cubs outfielder and veteran of the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve, grabbed an American flag from two protesters who had run onto the field at Dodger Stadium and attempted to burn it.

Monday, the longtime Dodgers broadcaster who played 19 years in the Major Leagues, was a two-time All-Star and a World Series champion, has often been asked about the moment.

“If that’s all you’re ever remembered for, that’s not a bad thing at all,” Monday told MLB Network in 2016.

Monday still owns the flag and it will be on loan to the Baseball Hall of Fame this summer as part of America’s 250th birthday celebration. In addition, Monday will be honored on July 25 during induction weekend.
