Lou Gehrig

Lou Gehrig's legendary durability and run production define his place in history. He played 2,130 consecutive games for the Yankees from 1925 to 1939, a record that stood for 56 years and outperforms the typical Ironman streak by over 1,000 games. Despite ALS ending his career at age 36, his.447 on-base percentage remains one of the highest ever recorded. Gehrig's consistency places him as a statistical peer to Mickey Mantle, though with fewer accolades in a shorter peak.
