What happened: The Houston Astros posted a "Live like Lou" message marking Lou Gehrig Day, the leaguewide observance honoring the Hall of Fame first baseman and raising awareness for ALS. The club's post carried the #LouGehrigDay hashtag as MLB teams across the sport joined the commemoration.

Why it matters: Lou Gehrig Day keeps attention on amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, the disease that ended Gehrig's career and now bears his name. The observance ties every club, Houston included, to the ongoing awareness and fundraising effort rather than to any on-field result.

What to watch: Expect additional team and league tributes tied to the observance, alongside ALS awareness and fundraising messaging carried across MLB clubs.
