Gehrig felt good in 1930. He said his secret was getting ten hours of sleep each night and drinking a large amount of water. Lou Gehrig now was becoming one of the greatest players in baseball history. He hit three home runs in the World Series of 1932. His batting average was .529. The manager of an opposing team, the Chicago Cubs, said of Gehrig, "I did not think a player could be that good."
In 1933, Gehrig married Eleanor Twitchell. Eleanor helped him take his place as one of baseball's most famous players. The younger Lou Gehrig had stayed away from strangers when he could. The married Lou Gehrig was much more friendly. As time went on, Gehrig played in game after game. He appeared not to have thought about his record number of continuous games played until a newspaper reporter talked to him about it. An accident during a special game played in Virginia almost broke the record. Gehrig was taken to a hospital after being hit in the head with a pitch. He played the next day, though. He just wore a bigger hat so people could not see his injury.
