The ALS Association Greater New York Chapter will hold their 29th annual Lou Gehrig Sports Awards Benefit on Thursday November, 7th at 6:30 pm ET at the New York Marriott Marquis and their honoree this year is Yankees closer Mariano Rivera.
Ron Darling, long time New York Mets player and sportscaster, and Phil Simms, long time New York Giants quarterback and CBS sportscaster, will also be honored along with the Yankees retiring closer. Former New England Patriot Kevin Turner, who currently is suffering from ALS or Lou Gehrig's disease depending on what you call it, will also be honored at the event.

Isn't it ironic that of all the diseases Lou Gehrig could get , he caught Lou Gehrig disease?
