Legacy
Gehrig's career ended at 36 when he was diagnosed with the disease that now carries his name, yet he remains the benchmark for durability, production and dignity in the sport. His 1939 retirement ceremony, held between a doubleheader at Yankee Stadium, drew Ruth, DiMaggio and a crowd that came to say goodbye to a player who never missed a game.
