Fear of taking a day off from work, then have your job be replaced by someone more healthier, if not better than you, when you are fit to return. The term was coined by author Dick Schaap. It came from Wally Pipp, a former first baseman for New York Yankees and could not play due to a headache in 1925, but it started the fabled Iron Man streak by Lou Gehrig until he was forced to retire with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). Pipp never regained the starting 1B spot ever again, and he was put on waivers, and was signed by Cincinnati Reds in 1926.
