 '''Lou Gehrig''' played baseball on [[South Lawn]], then went on to play baseball for the [[w:Yankees|Yankees]]. He also had a disease named after him.
-Although he played 2,130 straight games for the Yankees as a first baseman, at Columbia he was a pitcher who happened to hit really well.  His performance in 1923 demonstrated this.  On 18 April, 1923 - the day Yankee Stadium opened - Gehrig struck out 17 batters from Williams College on [[South Field]].  10 days later, he hit a 450-foot home run which landed <i>in the street</i> at 116th and Broadway.  To give some perspective, home plate back then was at the southeast corner of South Field, near where John Jay Hall currently lies.  Both events were observed by Yankee scouts, and both played a pivotal role in Gehrig earning an offer from the professional club.
