Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. The disease was identified in 1869 by the French neurologist, Jean-Martin Charcot, and in 1939, after ending the career of one of baseball's most beloved players, Lou Gehrig, it became more widely known internationally. ALS is commonly referred to as Lou Gehrig's Disease.
