  5. My Friend Lou Gehrig • As I walked into the ballpark with my friend Lou Gehrig, we could smell the hot-dogs and nachos all through the stadium. He was telling me how nervous he was for the big game. I was worried about him because he never was like this. I asked him why he was so nervous. He told me that he was in so much pain that he could barely swing a bat and get out of bed. I told him that everything was going to be fine, and he was going to do fine. I walked on to the field with him and warmed up with him to tried to get his mind off of it. Ii walked off the field to go get a soda. As I walked back to the dug-out, I noticed by the look on his face that he couldn’t make it through the game. I told him that he should miss this game and I would take him to the doctor, But he refused he said that he played 162 consecutive baseball games in a row and wouldn’t miss this one. Took his word and let him play the game…. Which he barely made through. That following week, I took him to the doctor along with one of his team-mates . That day the doctor diagnosed with ALS. At that point he knew he had to resign. So on July 4th at Yankee Stadium, they named that day Lou Gehrig day.
