Lou Gehrig Day
Within hours of his diagnosis with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Pete Frates hung a plaque featuring the legendary Lou Gehrig above his bedroom door frame. For as long as he could, before what is known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease robbed him of the ability, Frates would leap and slap that plaque, Notre Dame-style, each time he’d leave the room.
That’s the fighting spirit Gehrig continues to instill in ALS patients, 82 years after his diagnosis and 80 years after his death. And it is for that reason that “The Iron Horse” will be honored Wednesday, on the inaugural Lou Gehrig Day across Major League Baseball.

The lunatics are running the asylum.
