Check Out Lou Gehrig’s Letters

Thought all baseball fans would be interested in this.
ESPN has a great piece about Lou Gehrig’s final letters. Hear clips of his final speech and read his letters to his doctor throughout the ordeal. Gehrig was only 37 years old when he passed away from ALS.
MLB will honor Gehrig’s infamous speech at every ballpark this 4th of July.
