My friend of 60 years just lost his battle with ALS. To witness the devastation this horrible disease levies on its’ victims their families and loved ones is beyond surreal Lou Gehrig epitomized class, courage, and integrity. My heart breaks for ALL people and their loved ones who have this s most terrible of cards dealt to them in this life. I hope and pray a cure is one day found for this most insidious affliction. I love you Jay and know in my heart you are now at peace and comfort.

My favorite sports Legend ever that I didnt witness play. He is some how underrated and if his career didn't sadly get cut short he would have had a very realistic shot at being the all time RBI and runs leader and 3,000 plus hits and defiantely the 500 home run club. For his whole career hit .317 with two outs and RISP and. 349 in late and close games. Rest in peace Lou Gehrig.

@@sabreeemneely No problem, glad you enjoyed it! Baseball reference is amazing lol and I research past Yankees alot. What could have been if he stayed healthy and kept playing with DiMaggio. He retired during the year the team won their 4th straight World Series(Joe D's 4th season)and had a .361 World Series batting average over 34 games and 6 rings. Here's how close he was to records/milestones RBI Had 1,995 which is 303 away from the all time record and averaged 149 over 162 games Runs Had 1,888 which is 408 away and averaged 141 a season HR 7 away from 500 and averaged 37 Hits Had 2,721 thats 279 away from 3,000 and averaged 204 a season Dude was and monster and RBI machine. His career stats look fake

Most likely my favorite sports legend also even though I didnt live during his time. Everyone who knows Baseball knows Cal Ripken passed his 2,130 consecutive game streak but man, I cant see how anyone could at times without missing a game, really remarkable, and the 23 career Grand Slams and the batting average - all for a guy who was worth much more in dollars and cents than he was ever paid. I guess his true value to humanity and the game of Baseball are the memories he left behind for future generations to look up on youtube.

With those stats how much would he make in today's game, 50 to 75 million a season? His career earnings 361,500 dollars.

My mum is 83 and had great difficulty speaking and swallowing much of anything. Food was getting trapped in her throat and blocking her air way was happening more often. she battled for each breath. The riluzole did very little to help her. The medical team did even less. Her decline was rapid and devastating. The psychological support from the medical centre was non-existent and if it were not for the sensitive care and attention of our primary physician, there she would have died. There has been little if any progress in finding a cure or reliable treatment. Acupuncture eased her anxiety a bit. we taught she gonna lose the battle, we all did lose faith, but today she is very healthy after using treatment from Health Herbs Clinic, this tincture was sent to us by a friend of mine who also has A dying diagnosed (PLS) she explained how this Treatment works and reversed her PLS. I was so desperate to try, Today am so happy my mom is back to her feet and It has been a complete turnaround with her speech, she no longer needs the feeding tube to feed, the treatment is a miracle. She recovered significantly!
