Gehrig - The Iron Horse Painting

Henry Louis "Lou" Gehrig was afi rst baseman who played 17 seasons in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the New York Yankees, from 1923 through 1939. Gehrig was renowned for his prowess as a hitter and for his durability, a trait that earned him his nickname "The Iron Horse". In 1939, he was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame[4] and was the first MLB player to have his uniform number (4) retired by a team. Gehrig's career ended on May 2, 1939, when he voluntarily took himself out of the lineup to stunned fans after his play was hampered by amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), an incurable neuromuscular disorder now commonly referred to Lou Gehrig's disease. The disease forced him to retire at age 36 and was the cause of his death two years later. I was inspired to create this image by my husband who is crazy about the old days of baseball. It was painted using Corel Painter and my Wacom tablet.
