“For the past two weeks you have been reading about a bad break I got. Yet today I consider myself the luckiest man on the face of the earth. I have been in ballparks for 17 years and have never received anything but kindness and encouragement from you fans.”

– Lou Gehrig, July 4, 1939

Those words were uttered by Lou Gehrig in a ceremony between games of a doubleheader at Yankee Stadium nearly 70 years ago as he was dying from ALS — amyotrophic lateral sclerosis — a disease that was unknown at the time, but would ultimately bear his name.

In honor of Gehrig’s memory, Major League Baseball has teamed with four major non-profit organizations to find a cure for the illness that destroys the nerve cells controlling muscles, causes complete paralysis and ultimately leads to death an average of 3-5 years after diagnosis.

The campaign, called “4♦ALS Awareness,” will culminate with Gehrig’s words being read at all Major League ballparks where games are played this coming July 4, during the seventh-inning stretch.

It didn’t hurt much but it hurt more than when they went in! He used special priers that bends the staples ‘in the opposite’ direction and pulls them out. No biggie. And, as of yesterday, no more dizzy spells! :-)
