Lou Gehrig of the New York Yankees from 1923-1939
According
to the baseball Hall of Fame:
“I took the two most expensive aspirins in history.” -- Yankee first baseman Wally Pipp, who sat out a 1925 game with a headache and lost his position to Lou Gehrig, who would play every game there for the Yankees until his retirement in 1939.
If you look up the word ‘ballplayer” in the dictionary, it is likely they’ll have a picture of Lou Gehrig, stalwart New York Yankee first baseman. Gehrig is chiefly known for playing in 2,130 consecutive games for the Yankees, a magnificent streak long thought to have been unbreakable, until Cal Ripken, Jr. came along.
Gehrig wore uniform number four, because he hit behind Babe Ruth, number three. One of the most magnificent hitters and run producers in history, Gehrig was always overshadowed by Ruth, who was not only an unparalleled hitter, but was as outgoing and flamboyant as Gehrig was reserved and quiet. "He just went out and did his job every day." - said his teammate, Hall of Famer Bill Dickey.
Gehrig scored over 100 runs and drove in over 100 runs for 13 straight seasons. He led the American League in runs 4 times, home runs three times, runs-batted in five times, on-base percentage five times, and batting average once. He finished among the league’s top three hitters seven times. He racked up eight 200-plus hit seasons."
