Lou Gehrig was primarily known as a professional Baseball player, playing as a first baseman for the New York Yankees from 1923 to 1939. Before his baseball career, he attended Columbia University on a scholarship, where he also played football. Gehrig was also briefly involved in various charitable activities and public speaking after his diagnosis with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), which ultimately led to his retirement from baseball. His legacy extends beyond sports, as he became an advocate for ALS awareness.
