Thank you Cincinnati 💙 We're blown away by the response and overwhelming support we received. Over 45K fans ... the most @reds stadium has EVER SEEN BEFORE. ALS is not incurable, it's underfunded. More than $200K raised will go to research we believe will make a difference.

Surprise visit from 2 of the greatest teammates one can ever have. When someone is struggling the unconditional support is immediate. This is what friendships are all about. Lou Gehrig day & start of ALS June awareness month makes it more special. Thank you, MLB, for what you do!

On Lou Gehrig day, we are sharing the story of Sam Hilliard, whose family was impacted by ALS. Sam spoke with us about honoring his late father and the work he now does to #StrikeOutALS through @TeamHilliardALS. #ALSAwarenessMonth

@DaultonVarsho25 hits a 9th inning bomb on @LG4Day & supports ALS in his post-game interview with @thehazelmae. Awesome! Thank you both!

i was BEYOND honored to be asked by MLB to select a player per team to sign a bat, each to be auctioned at auctions.MLB.com to benefit ALS research at @MGHNeurology thanks SO MUCH to the players, chosen for personal links to ALS + passion for the game akin to Gehrig's
