Lou Gehrigโs dedication, hard work and perseverance continue to inspire visitors to Cooperstown and baseball fans around the world.
We celebrate the Hall of Famerโs enduring legacy on this #LouGehrigDay and every day at the Hall of Fame.
"Today, I consider myself the luckiest man on the face of this earth."
Lou Gehrig, July 4, 1939
This Lou Gehrig Day, support the Live Like Lou Foundation. A portion of proceeds from our collection benefits the fight against ALS.
Why do we celebrate Lou Gehrig Day on June 2? โพ๏ธ๐
It marks the beginning of Lou Gehrigโs record-setting streak of 2,130 consecutive games played in 1925, & itโs also the day he passed away in 1941.
A day of history. A day of legacy. A day of impact.
#LouGehrigDay
โI might have been given a bad break. But Iโve got an awful lot to live for.โ
87 years after Lou Gehrig became the face of ALS, there is still no cure.
Today on #LouGehrigDay, we continue our mission to raise awareness of ALS, support the need for research and care, remember those who bravely fought, and recognize those who continue to battle.
The older I get, the more I realize making memories with family, a solid fitness routine, a job you don't hate, a group chat of great friends, annual traditions, and a productive hobby will lead to a very happy life.
Bittersweet day. From Little Cyclone to Cyclone, weโve had 8 years of watching @TaminLipsey grow up in front of us here in Ames. Senior Day at Hilton to send off one of the all-time Cyclone greats.
