For some reason, the first week of June turned out to be a momentous one in the life of Henry Louis Gehrig. It marked the day he replaced Wally Pipp, the day he hit four home runs in a game, and the day he died, 80 years ago this week, in 1941. Mike and Bill sort through the short but impactful life of Laruppin' Lou this week in honor of the first MLB-wide Lou Gehrig Day. Plus, happy birthday to Rube Oldring and Ray Lankford!
