Before the Jumbotron.....


8/20/1938...
71 years ago today.

Lou Gehrig hits his 23rd and final Grand Slam.....
a record that still holds today.

He retired the following year after Spring Training and gave his farewell speech below on "Lou Gehrig's Appreciation Day" on July 4th 1939.

He would be dead within 2 years at age 37.
