On July 4, the 70th anniversary of Lou Gehrig's immortal "luckiest man on the face of the earth" speech, Major League Baseball will help fight the disease that bears the name of its doomed hero.
In 15 home ballparks that day, baseball will seek to raise money and awareness of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or A.L.S., known as Lou Gehrig's disease, which currently has no cure.
The event is the brainchild of Michael Goldsmith, 57, a law professor in Utah, who was given what he calls a "death sentence" in September 2006, the ominous signs of A.L.S.
