Babe Ruth & Lou Gehrig signatures on Babe Ruth Note Paper. Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig had a unique relationship and were a dominant duo known as the Bambino and the Iron Horse. Both launched towering home runs in the double digits at a time when this was uncommon. Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig were estranged for five years but all that changed on Lou Gehrig appreciation day. On that day Babe Ruth's hug ended five years of estrangement, and yet there is also a great deal of ambiguity to it. Human relationships, even the really close, ideal-marriage ones, have grey areas. If you have ever wished that an angry utterance could be recalled so that a broken relationship could be mended, or that there would be some impossible moment of forgiveness and reconciliation that would revive a love that died, Lou Gehrig Appreciation Day. Gehrig's words evoked tears and laughter with words which made the previous speeches sound rather hollow. He was wonderful. Somehow, he managed to control his voice. And when he was through, Ruth put his arm around him. People were crying in the stands when Gehrig finished. And they were ready to laugh again when Ruth put his arms around Gehrig and 82 years later every baseball fan knows of Gehrig's words and Ruth's hug.
