Bio/Historical NoteRoad uniform shirt worn by Stephen Piscotty of the Oakland Athletics on June 2, 2021 in Seattle when Major League Baseball celebrated its inaugural Lou Gehrig Day. Piscotty’s mother passed away from ALS. He is quoted by MLB as follows: “Lou Gehrig Day will honor Lou’s accomplishments on the field, but also help millions understand this devastating disease that has claimed far too many of us, including my mother. Before she passed, she did everything she could to raise awareness of ALS and I know she’d be thrilled that Major League Baseball will now shine a spotlight on Lou Gehrig and ALS every season. Hopefully this awareness will help lead to a cure.”
