Once regarded as a great pitcher with borderline major league material, Stan Musial permanently injured his throwing shoulder in the minors while playing as an emergency outfielder. It was a blessing in disguise. Musial thought his career was over, but his manager Dickey Kerr advised him to give hitting and outfield a shot. Musial had a solid background as an offensive player growing up but he did not know if he could cut it against professionals in that way, as opposed to using his pitching skills. But he shined when he was put in the lineup, hitting .342 as a part-time outfielder in 1940. When he was called up to play left field for the St. Louis Cardinals at the end of the 1941 season, Musial hit .426. From there, his career only took off. From 1942 until 1958, Musial did not hit below .310 once! He won an incredible seven batting titles. Over his 22-year career, Musial won the Most Valuable Player Award three times, a feat that has been topped by only one player in history (Barry Bonds). He is also the only player in MLB history to finish in the top two for MVP in six out of eight seasons. To no one’s surprise, he was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame on the first ballot.

Gehrig's notable achievements include winning two American League MVP awards and a Triple Crown.

He was also a key part of the Yankees' lineup that won six World Series titles. He was renowned for his consecutive games played streak of 2,130, which led him to being recognized to the Baseball Hall of Fame. Unfortunately, Gehrig was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig's disease, and was forced to retire at the age of 36. Lou Gehrig's legacy extends far beyond his impressive statistics, as he remains an iconic figure in baseball history.

But today, I consider myself the luckiest man on the face of the Earth.” - Lou Gehrig That quote, from July 4, 1939, is still one of the most famous words ever spoken by a baseball player. It resonated throughout Yankees Stadium, and 85 years later, clearly defines the kind of person that Lou Gehrig was. He is still renowned today as one of the humblest, most respectful, and courageous athletes ever to have played the game. Gehrig earned the nickname “The Iron Horse” during his time as a player, starting in 2,130 straight games, a record that stood for 56 years. Eventually, Cal Ripken Jr. would break Gehrig’s record. Nevertheless, the story of Gehrig’s record is incredibly noteworthy, not only in the spectacular way it started but also in the tragic way it ended. Gehrig may be known as a Hall-of-Famer today, one of the greatest baseball players of all time, but his rise to fame is a true underdog story. Lou was the son of German immigrants. He grew up dirt poor and had to work blue-collar jobs as a young boy just to help his parents survive. Even when he eventually made it to the major leagues, he lived at home and helped support his mom and dad. His professional baseball contract was extremely meager by today’s standards, as he was making just $400 per month. Did you enjoy this excerpt?
