Answer 2

Lou Gehrig
First Base

1923-39 New York Yankees

Held one of the most famous records in all of sports for over 65 years--his streak of 2,130 consecutive games played, only recently broken by Cal Ripken.

Considered the greatest first baseman of all time by most baseball historians.

Holds the AL record for RBI in a season, 184 in 1931, breaking his own record of 175 set in 1927.

Had three triples once in a game that was rained out in the fourth inning before the record could go into the books.

Had a .340 career batting average in 2,164 games played.

Batted .361 in World Series play with 10 HR.

Gehrig's career came to a tragic end when he contracted amyotrophic lateral sclerosis in late 1938 or early 1939. The disease is now known as "Lou Gehrig's disease." He died only 2 years after retiring from baseball.

Gave one of the most famous speeches in American history on July 3, 1939, during Lou Gehrig Day at Yankee Stadium. "Today, I consider myself the luckiest man on the face of the earth."

Inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1939 when the BBWAA waived the rule requiring a player be retired 5 years before they are eligible for induction.
