Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel just aired a story about this and it sounds like he did indeed have ALS, but we now may know how he got it: head trauma. He was knocked out 6 times in his career. A key to preventing long-term damage to the brain post-concussion is rest immediately following the injury. As we all know, in every case where Gehrig was knocked unconscious he was in the lineup the very next day. Sadly, the streak may have been a factor that lead to his early death.
