Lou Gehrig never literally played the position. But he was penciled in as the shortstop for one game during his career. It was on July 14, 1934 against the Detroit Tigers. This was done to continue his consecutive games played streak. Due to Gehrig's sore back, he was listed as the shortstop and batted lead-off. He led off the game with a single and Red Rolfe was put in as a pinch runner. In the bottom of the first Rolfe was sent out to play shortstop. Gehrig's main position was first base. Although he did play a handful of games in right and left field.
