Gehrig was renowned for his prowess as a hitter and for his durability, a trait which earned him his nickname "The Iron Horse." He was an All-Star seven consecutive times, a Triple Crown winner once, an American League Most Valuable Player twice, and a member of six World Series champion teams. He had a lifetime .340 batting average, .632 slugging average, and a .447 on base average. He hit 493 home runs and had 1,995 runs batted in. Gehrig was inducted into the baseball Hall of Fame in 1939 and was the first player to ever have his jersey number retired.
