About Lou Gehrig
Lou Gehrig teamed with Babe Ruth to form baseball's most devastating hitting tandem ever. The Iron Horse had 13 consecutive seasons with both 100 runs scored and 100 RBIs, averaging 139 runs and 148 RBIs; set an American League mark with 184 RBIs in 1931; hit a record 23 grand slams; and won the 1934 Triple Crown. His .361 batting average in seven World Series led the Yankees to six titles. A true gentleman and a tragic figure, Gehrig's consecutive games-played streak ended at 2,130 when he was felled by a disease that later carried his name.

Coin Designs

Inscriptions are: "LIBERTY", "IN GOD WE TRUST" and "2014".
The reverse (tails) design features a baseball similar to those used by Major League Baseball. Inscriptions are "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA", "HALF DOLLAR" and "E PLURIBUS UNUM".
