This week would mark the anniversary of a speech made by Lou Gehrig that has become one of the staples in the history of the league. The speech was made when Gehrig, one of the best players of his generation, was forced to retire. Gehrig was one of the best hitters in the game with a .340 career batting average.

It is a funny thing in sports when fans watch players and get attached to them, it is just a symptom of fandom. Fans in all sports can be a little crazy and over the top but there is a true love for their team and the players on their team. We all get attached to the teams we follow and although we may not have anything on the line there is still a sense that a lot is riding on the game we are watching.
