"His greatest record doesn't show in the book. It was the absolute reliability of Henry Louis Gehrig. He could be counted upon. He was there every day at the ballpark bending his back and ready to break his neck to win for his side. He was there day after day and year after year. He never sulked or whined or went into a pot or a huff. He was the answer to a manager's dream." - Sportswriter John Kieran in The New York Times

Sponsored by Mickey Greenblatt in honor of the best-ever first baseman and second baseman, Columbia College's Lou Gehrig and Eddie Collins.
