Lou Gehrig’s 1938 season – especially one extraordinary month – might have been his best ever considering the progression of ALS.

The Iron Horse’s courageous final months helped create the legacy we celebrate on #LouGehrigDay.

Today, we play for No. 4.

Today, we play for the cure. #LouGehrigDay

"We picked up the ashes & kept going"

When Josh Hart was in high school

The family house burned down

Thankfully no one got hurt

But they lost their dog

And most belongings

No family in the area

And no insurance

Mom a waitress

Dad a cook

Three kids

Two bedrooms

They started over.

Josh got a scholarship

To a private school in DC

1 hour & 2 buses away

He was late too often

And got mostly D's

Got kicked out

But then

Something happened

Other families in the school

Rallied around Josh & his family

They launched a Facebook page

They called it"Let Josh Stay"

Spammed the headmaster

Demanding Josh

Get 2nd chance

He got one.

To make it easier

Josh spent some nights

At the house of a teammate

His name was Matthew Hillman

Yes Roommates Show Matt

Soon Matt & his family

Became part of Josh's

Josh did better

Played better

Villanova next

And a title.

Fast forward to today

Josh on the Knicks plane

Flying out to the NBA Finals

And Matthew's mom Pamela

Reposts video of Draft Night

The night that he knew

His mom would be OK

His dad would be OK.

Josh's dad Moses has said

"He learned how to play hard

Before he knew he was good

Playing hard's the only thing he knows."

The heart of Hart has always stood out

"He had it from Day One"

Said Josh's 8U coach

That's 8 years old.

Coaches saw it

Teammates

Families

In a school

He just got to

They noticed too

They rallied around him

Got him a 2nd chance

He kept going

He's here now

Every year, I share this video of French caretakers who take sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy, and scrub them into the letters to give them the gold coloring.

They do this for all 9,386 US soldiers who died.

France also gave us this land as American soil. #MemorialDayWeekend

Incredible what we are watching in real time.

How the Yankees and YES Network handled the passing of John Sterling in last night's game was so well done.

From the social team to the in-house PA, the broadcast, all of it. To be able to pull all that together in such a short time. To pay respect, reflect and celebrate all while covering the game at hand. I thought it was very impressive and as a Yankees fans we're super lucky to have tough times tackled in such a touching way.

Good article here by @BrendanKutyNJ here aswell

@AmyStory3_0 🎂!

[Michael Kay @RealMichaelKay]

So many years….going to miss him a great deal. RIP Sterls. You did great. One of one.

[Derek Jeter @derekjeter]

John Sterling is as much a part of the fabric of the New York Yankees organization as any player. It was an honor to have him call every one of my games during my career and an absolute pleasure to get to know him on a personal basis. My thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends. He will be deeply missed.

Elmer Rodriguez who made his Yankees major league debut last week https://t.co/WMfdb9ny4Z

Yesterday, Tim Hill received the 2025 Tony Conigliaro Award, which recognizes a “Major Leaguer who has overcome adversity through the attributes of spirit, determination, and courage that were trademarks of Tony C."

Before Hill was selected in the 32nd round of the 2014 Draft, he lost his father, Jerry, to colon cancer at the start of his sophomore year of high school in 2007. Then, in 2015 during his first minor league spring training, Tim was diagnosed with Lynch Syndrome. Later, when Tim was 25, he was also diagnosed with Stage 3 colon cancer.

After enduring surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy, he was declared cancer-free in late 2016 and returned to baseball, eventually making his Major League debut in 2018. The 2026 season marked Hill’s ninth in the Majors 💙
