洋基名人堂球員 "鐵馬" Lou Gehrig 退休演說
Fans, for the past two weeks you have been reading about the bad
break I got. Yet today I consider myself the luckiest man on the
face of the earth.
I have been in ballparks for seventeen years and have never received
anything but kindness and encouragement from you fans. Look at these
grand men. Which of you wouldn't consider it the highlight of his
career just to associate with them for even one day?
Sure I'm lucky.
Who wouldn’t consider it an honor to have known Jacob Ruppert? Also
, the builder of baseball’s greatest empire, Ed Barrow? To have spen
t six years with that wonderful little fellow, Miller Huggins? Then
to have spent the next nine years with that outstanding leader, that
smart student of psychology, the best manager in baseball today, Joe
McCarthy?
Sure I'm lucky.
When the New York Giants, a team you would give your right arm to
beat, and vice versa, sends you a gift - that's something. When everybody
down to the groundskeepers and those boys in white coats remember you
with trophies -- that's something.
When you have a wonderful mother-in-law who takes sides with you in
squabbles with her own daughter -- that's something.
When you have a father and a mother who work all their lives so you
can have an education and build your body -- it's a blessing.
When you have a wife who has been a tower of strength and shown more
courage than you dreamed existed -- that's the finest I know.
So, I close in saying that I might have been given a bad break, but
I've got an awful lot to live for.

ACHIEVEMENTS
Hit four home runs in one game on June 3, 1932.
Won the Triple Crown in 1934 when he led the American League in
batting average (.363), home runs (49) and runs batted in (165).
Holds the record for most grand slams in a career with 23.
Hit 493 home runs in his career, setting the record for the most
home runs hit by any first baseman in history until Mark McGuire
recently hit 500.
Became the only player in history to drive in more than 500 runs
in three years. He ushered in 174 runs in 1930, 184 in 1931 and 151
in 1932, for a total of 509.
His amazing total of 184 RBI's in a single season (1931) is first In
American League history and second in baseball history (behind Hack
Wilson's 190 RBI's with the Chicago Cubs).
Set a record by playing in a consecutive streak of 2,130 professional
baseball games throughout his career, despite 17 fractures in his
hands, being beaned several times, having severe back pain and suffering
various other illnesses and minor injuries. Gehrig's record stood until
Cal Ripken, Jr. broke it in 1995.
Became the first athlete to have his number retired. Upon his retirement
from baseball in 1939, the New York Yankees retired his No. 4 jersey.
Today, the practice of retiring jerseys numbers is carried out in most
sports.
Was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1939. In light of his
progressive illness, the usual two-year waiting period after a player
retires was waived in Gehrig's case.
In 1955, Gehrig's Columbia fraternity Phi Delta Theta established the
Lou Gehrig Memorial Award. Each year, it is awarded to the Major League
player who best exemplifies Gehrig's character and attitude.
In 2002, the Rhode Island chapter of the ALS Association established
"The Spirit of Lou Gehrig Award." This award honors community leaders
who have displayed compassion and commitment to those who suffer from
ALS, also commonly known as Lou Gehrig's disease.
