On Tuesday, July 4, Sarah Langs and other women from the ALS community will be honored in a pregame ceremony, which will include a video of Lou Gehrig’s “Luckiest Man” speech being read by Yankees players, Sarah and other women of the ALS community. Sarah and her fellow honorees will also take the field with the team prior to first pitch.
