The reason why Lou Gehrig got amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is undetermined.
There is a theory out there that it was caused by concussion-related trauma (he played before batting helmets were standard), but there is no way to test the theory since there was no autopsy and his body was cremated.
Lou Gehrig died on June 2, 1941, of a serious disease called ''Lou Gehrig's Disease'' , also known as Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), at the age of 37.
Lou Gehrig, the iron horse, was an excellent Baseball player. He set a record for games played. He hit a number of home runs. Then he came down with ALS. He gave his name to that disease.
Lou Gehrig was not drafted. He was signed as a free agent by the New York Yankees in 1923.
Lou Gehrig had a lifetime batting average of 340, had 493 home runs, and 1995 RBI's During his 17 year career he also played in 2130 consecutive games.
