Yankees honor Lou Gehrig on his birthday, reflecting on his legacy

His career with the Yankees spanned from 1923 to 1939, during which he solidified his status as one of baseball's all-time greats. His 14-year career included a significant role in the team's success during the late 1920s and 1930s. The Yankees reflect on Gehrig's impact both on and off the field today.
