Lou Gehrig was not drafted. He was signed as a free agent by the New York Yankees in 1923. Yankees scout Paul Krichell went to watch him at a Columbia University game, in which Lou was the starting pitcher. After the game Krichell signed Lou for the rest of the season for $2,000 and a $1,500 signing bonus. Krichell persuaded Lou to stop pitching and focus just on being a hitter.
