9/7 - “At least it was while he was alive”
By The Stabbing Pen | September 7, 2008
Almost in every scenario, people are more likely to have something named after them in death, so they never get to witness the actual honor itself. There are rare exceptions (Tony Gwynn Drive).
According to Blair’s roommate Jamie, Lou Gehrig had the disease named after him while he was alive. However, I can’t imagine naming the illness after him offered any sort of consolation as he was rapidly approaching his inevitable death.
“Hey Lou, you are so fucked up that we don’t even know what you have. In fact, we’re gonna name this disease after you.”
“Thanks doc, you’ve made me feel like I’m the luckiest man on earth.”
