Gehrig’s consecutive games played streak ended May 2, 1939. He never played another major league game.
Just over a month later, on Gehrig’s 36th birthday, it was announced that he had a rare, incurable disease: amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS. Two days later, the Yankees announced his retirement from baseball. Many diseases, such as Parkinson’s or Alzheimer’s, are named for the scientists who identified them.

Less than two years after Lou Gehrig Appreciation Day, 17 days shy of his 38th birthday, Gehrig died.
