In 2021, MLB began an annual tradition of observing Lou Gehrig Day on June 2 to raise awareness of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and those afflicted with the debilitating disease that affects the nervous system. Gehrig, a Hall of Fame first baseman with the New York Yankees, died on June 2, 1941 — his 37th birthday — from ALS.
A 2021 resolution adopted by The American Legion’s National Executive Committee (NEC) encourages “every American Legion Baseball team to observe a moment of silence before their game(s) each year on June 2 in memory of Major League Baseball’s great Lou Gehrig and all veterans who suffer or have died from ALS.”
American Legion Baseball teams who participate in Lou Gehrig Day are encouraged to share photos and details on the Baseball tab at Legiontown.org. Go to https://www.legion.org/information-center/news/baseball/2025/may/legion-baseball-teams-encouraged-to-honor-lou-gehrig-day to access a speech teams can use for their Lou Gehrig Day event.
