Episode 371 - Lou Gehrig, Early Streaker
Update: 2025-06-06
Description
When we think of Lou Gehrig, we usually think about one of two things: his tragic early death or his record breaking consecutive games played streak, which began this week 100 years ago. This week, we celebrate the happier of those two aspects of his life and career, looking back at the 2,130 games that made up Gehrig's incredible accomplishment. Through it, you get a sense of just how determined, exceptional, and lucky Laruppin' Lou was until the moment his luck and body gave out.
Plus, happy birthday to Terry Kennedy and Johnny Mostil!
And farewell to Billy Smith, Tony Blanco, Octavio Dotel and Nate Oliver.
