The Iron Horse, benched.
Today in 1939 Lou Gehrig took himself out of the starting lineup of the New York Yankees before the start of a game against the Detroit Tigers, ending his streak of 2,130 consecutive games. He said to manager Joe McCarthy that he is benching himself for the good of the team. It was the end of a 14-year streak for the first baseman.
