As New York, San Francisco Are Playing Finale Of Three Game Series Sunday Afternoon In San Francisco California As MLB Is Celebrating Lou Gehrig Day Nestor Cortes, Blake Snell Are Starting

Lou Gehrig Day occurs on the same date every MLB season!

The date?

June 2!

Lou Gehrig Day honors former MLB first baseman Lou Gehrig who removed himself from starting lineup on May 2, 1939 by his mysterious neuromuscular disease, amyotrophic lateral scleroses or ALS that would become known as Lou Gehrig Disease. On May 2, 1939 that disease forced him out of the lineup on July 4, 1939 where he was replaced by Wally Pipp. Lou Gehrig know as The Iron Horse would later go on to make his luckiest man speech that said “Fans, for the past two weeks you have been reading about the bad break I got. Yet today I consider myself the luckiest man on the face of this earth. I have been in ballparks for seventeen years and have never received anything but kindness and encouragement from you fans.

Though Lou Gehrig wasn’t the only who had ALS as Sarah Langs who currently is working in game of MLB as a researcher has ALS known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease. When Sarah Langs diagnosed with ALS Mandy Bell who is a reporter for Cleveland shared her thoughts by saying Sarah and I met through our jobs at Major League Baseball. I’m a reporter in Cleveland. She’s a researcher based in New York. But when she let our boss know in 2019 that she’d be attending the same game I’d be covering on her annual Spring Training trip with her mother, our boss reached out to me just in case I’d want to meet her. I was happy to and we chatted for three or four minutes. In that moment, I had no idea I had just met my best friend.

It was a brief, awkward interaction, like any first meetup is. But after I walked away, her excitement and passion for baseball stayed with me. It was refreshing. I was always the young, wide-eyed reporter who loved showing up for work each day. Seasoned reporters loved joking with me that my jubilance would quickly fade. But when I talked to Sarah, I was finally with someone who viewed it the same way I did -- let’s face it, even more so than I did. There was no way I wasn’t going to stay in touch with her.

We’ve talked every day since. And trust me, that’s no hyperbolic statement. It didn’t take me long to realize she is the definition of a baseball nerd -- something I think Gehrig would love about her. If you have ever found yourself watching a game and thought, “I wonder the last time this happened?” Sarah already had the answer four innings ago, just sitting there ready to Tweet it.

Baseball is more than just a numbers game for her. If nothing else, she’s known as the girl who tweets “Baseball is the best!” 100 times a day – one for every sweet, interesting or wholesome moment this game creates. She then separated herself as a researcher, finding tidbits that no one else would think to dig up. She’s constantly on teams’ pregame shows and she’s been a regular on MLB Network for the last four years. She and I have our own podcast together, as two best friends, talking about the game they love. It’s seamless for us, considering it’s just reciting into a microphone what we’d normally just text each other.
