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.
