 every time the New York Yankees take the field they're playing in the shadow of greatness. Lou Gehrig is one of the most legendary players ever to wear the interlocking NY in 80 years to the day after his untimely death to ALS Major League Baseball celebrates his legacy with the first ever Lou Gehrig Day. Everybody great to have you with us on the graph teams Yankees pregame Bob Lorenz and Jack Curry with you game three or four between the Yankees and Reyes. Yanks come off a dramatic win they're trying to build on that but in a way baseball is secondary the actual game to what the day is itself. It is Bob and we are here to cover the game and we'll have the scores and the results and the Yankees are hoping for another exciting finish but when you talk about Lou Gehrig and his legacy and the fact that he finally gets his day I think this is long overdue to recognize Lou Gehrig and what he meant to Major League Baseball. You think about who he was on the field you think of durability and success but you think of how he lived his life. You think of courage and strength. So now he joins Jackie Robinson as Roberto and Roberto Clemente as the only three players who have a day dedicated to them. You mentioned that he died 80 years ago. That in part is why this day was chosen. June 2nd is also the day that he cemented his status as the Yankees starting first baseman went on to play 2,130 games so his legacy is strong. The Yankees will honor him today Bob but they will also honor families who have been impacted by ALS.
