MLB: Colorado Rockies Vs. New York Mets
In Major League Baseball, the number 4 is worn on uniforms as a special patch to honor Lou Gehrig. This is part of Lou Gehrig Day, an annual tradition that raises awareness for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). A New York Mets player wears the patch before the baseball game against the Colorado Rockies at Citi Field in Corona, N.Y., on June 1, 2025. (Photo by Gordon Donovan)
