When did Lou Gehrig stop playing baseball?

Answer 1

To not be too facetious, I'll put it bluntly.

He died from his own disease.

Lou Gehrig's disease.

You usually retire from your profession when you're about to abruptly die.

To answer another question, which makes more sense: What is Lou Gehrig's disease?

A disease of the neurons, or more specifically the motor neurons, affecting your ability to move. This eventually leads to total paralysis, muscle loss, and then death.

Answer 2

He suffered from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, a disease caused by the degeneration of nerve cells in the central nervous system that controls the voluntary movement of muscles.

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis was given the nickname 'Lou Gehrig's Disease'.

Answer 3

Are you joking?

He got amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. He was too weak to play and died shortly after leaving the team.
