WOODBRIDGE, VA - "When Lou Gehrig made his farewell address on July 4, 1939 at Yankee Stadium™, America became painfully aware of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig's Disease.

Now, to mark the 70th anniversary of his farewell address, Major League Baseball® and Minor League Baseball™ are helping to support four ALS organizations, including The ALS Association, to raise awareness of ALS.
