The
AP reports that Major League Baseball honored Lou Gehrig today on the 70th anniversary of his famous speech, where he called himself the luckiest man in the world. The speech was played at all 15 games today and all players, coaches and on field personnel inside of the game wore patches.
Flowers were placed at his plaque in Monument Park by the Yankees, who also donated $25,000 to the league's "MLB 4 ALS" initiative. For more, check out the full article. It's nice to see.
