    Extractions: Lou Gehrig's disease refers to a disorder called amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (say: ah -my-uh-tro-fik lah -tuh-rul skluh- ro -sis), or ALS. The official name comes from these Greek words: In the United States, ALS is often called Lou Gehrig's disease because of New York Yankees' star Lou Gehrig, who was diagnosed with ALS in the 1930s. People in England and Australia call ALS 'Motor Neurone Disease' (MND). The French refer to it as 'Maladie de Charcot', after the French doctor Jean-Martin Charcot, who first wrote about ALS in 1869. Lou Gehrig's disease damages spinal cord pathways and motor neurons, which are important parts of the body's

    Extractions: Before he was the Iron Horse, Gehrig was known as Columbia Lou. He attended Columbia College from 1921 to 1923, playing both football and baseball. Gehrig's record-breaking home runs for the Lions bounced into the Journalism building and landed at Alma Mater's feet, more than 400 feet away from the home plate then situated at the southeast corner of South Field. He also pitched for the Lions, striking out a team record 17 in the spring of 1923. After his sophomore year, Gehrig signed with the Yankees for a 1,500 dollar bonus. In later years, Gehrig recalled why he had abandoned his intention to go on from Columbia to become an engineer: "There's no getting away from it," he told the New York Times in 1939, "a fellow has to eat. At the end of my sophomore year my father was taken ill and we had to have money. I had been playing on the college ball team and I had had eight offers to join professional clubs. So when there was no money coming in there was nothing for me to do but sign up." Gehrig returned to campus in the late 1930s as a guest lecturer at a Teachers College physical-education course.

    Extractions: LOU GEHRIG Baseball Player Name at Birth: Henry Louis Gehrig Gehrig played in 2130 consecutive games for the New York Yankees from 1925 to 1939, gaining the nickname "The Iron Horse." A slugging first baseman, Gehrig played with teammates like Babe Ruth and Joe DiMaggio during the Yankee glory years of the 1920s and 1930s. Gehrig won a rare triple crown in 1934, leading the league with 49 homers, 165 RBI and a .363 batting average. He also was chosen the league's most valuable player in 1927 and 1936, but is best-remembered for his 15-season streak of consecutive games, a record which stood until it was broken by Cal Ripken in 1995. Gehrig retired after 8 games of the 1939 season and was diagnosed with the degenerative disease amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS now known as Lou Gehrig's Disease. The Yankees held a recognition day for Gehrig on 4 July 1939, at which he spoke his famous line, "Today I consider myself the luckiest man on the face of this earth." He died two years later in New York.

Yet today I consider myself the luckiest man on the face of the earth. I have been in ballparks for seventeen years and have never received anything but kindness and encouragement from you fans. Look at these grand men. Which of you wouldn’t consider it the highlight of his career just to associate with them for even one day? Sure I’m lucky. Who wouldn’t consider it an honor to have known Jacob Ruppert? Also, the builder of baseball’s greatest empire, Ed Barrow? To have spent six years with that wonderful little fellow, Miller Huggins? Then to have spent the next nine years with that outstanding leader, that smart student of psychology, the best manager in baseball today, Joe McCarthy? Sure I’m lucky. When the New York Giants, a team you would give your right arm to beat, and vice versa, sends you a gift - that’s something. When everybody down to the groundskeepers and those boys in white coats remember you with trophies that’s something. When you have a wonderful mother-in-law who takes sides with you in squabbles with her own daughter that’s something.

In baseball, the first World Series was played. The team later known as the Yankees moved from Baltimore to New York. And on June 19, 1903, Henry Louis Gehrig was born. He would become one of the greatest players in baseball history." So begins Lou Gehrig: The Luckiest Man , a new biography from the pen of David A.

    http://www.manythings.org/voa/02/020630pa_t.htm
    
    Extractions: ANNCR: Now, the VOA Special English program, PEOPLE IN AMERICA. A North American Major League baseball record was established in Nineteen-Thirty-Nine. The man who set it played in two-thousand-one-hundred-thirty games without missing one. In Nineteen-Ninety-Five, the record was broken by Cal Ripken of the Baltimore Orioles. But there is not much chance that the man who set the first record will be forgotten. Today Shirley Griffith and Steve Ember tell about Lou Gehrig whose record lasted for fifty-six years. [Image Removed] (THEME) VOICE ONE: Lou Gehrig was born on June Nineteenth, Nineteen-Oh-Three. He was a huge baby. He weighed six-and-one-third kilograms. His parents, Heinrich and Christina Gehrig, had come to America from Germany. They worked hard. But they always had trouble earning enough money. Lou loved to play baseball games on the streets of New York City, where he grew up. Yet he did not try to play on any sports teams when he entered high school. He thought of himself as a ball player only for informal games with friends. Then one of Lou's high-school teachers heard that he could hit the ball very hard. The teacher ordered Lou to come to one of the school games. VOICE TWO: Years later, Lou said, "When I saw so many people and heard all the noise at the game, I was so scared I went home." The teacher threatened to fail Lou in school if he did not attend the next game.

    http://espn.go.com/sportscentury/features/00014204.html
    
    Extractions: Irony, as we know, is part of life. And death. Is there a better word to use regarding Lou Gehrig? Think of his nickname: "The Iron Horse." It implies endurance. It recalls an indestructible man, one who never called in sick for almost 14 years 2,130 consecutive games, as if we could ever forget that number? Lou Gehrig, a man who made us forget Wally Pipp, also introduced us to a tragic disease. And yet, at age 35, in what should have been the prime of his life, the Yankees first baseman contracted an incurable disease. Two years later, at 37, The Iron Horse was dead. More irony. What is remembered most about the rock-sturdy man whom Los Angeles Times columnist Jim Murray called "Gibraltar in cleats?" Is it his 493 homers, his 1,990 runs batted in, his .340 batting average, his American League record 184 RBI in one year, his major league record of 23 grand slams? Is it his 13 consecutive seasons with 100 RBI and 100 runs scored, his 200 hits and 100 walks in the same season seven times, his two MVPs, his Triple Crown? Is it his 12 consecutive seasons of hitting .300, his 10 seasons of at least 30 homers, his averaging 153 RBI over an 11-year stretch, his .632 lifetime slugging percentage?
