Welcome to Iron Horse Softball 2010. The team name is a reference to Lou Gehrig who was nicknamed “Iron Horse”. Sadly Lou Gehrig had his brilliant career cut short by a devastating disease known at the time to be called ALS. After Gehrig ended his playing career and succumbed to the disease, ALS soon came to be known as Lou Gehrigs Disease.

In 2005, my father, who was my biggest fan and supporter began to have some health issues. He was diagnosed with Lou Gehrigs disease in 2006 and passed away in November 2007 at the age of 55. This team is a tribute to my father and I hope this team can play with the fire and spirit that he displayed when fighting this deadly disease.



RIP
