We remember Lou Gehrig (1903-41)

Lou Gehrig was born on this day in 1903 in New York.    We remember Lou because of the consecutive games streak, i.e. 2,130 games from 1925-39.   He was also one of the greatest hitters of all time:  .340 batting average, 494 HR,  1,995 RBI in 2,164 games.    He walked 1,508 times for a .447 on base pct!  

Lou died in 1941.
