Lou Gehrig did wear #4 with the Yankees, since he batted in the fourth spot in the lineup (behind Babe Ruth, who wore #3). Uniform numbers were new in those days (the Yankees started in 1929) and were originally based on a player's usual spot in the batting order.
Yankees great Joe DiMaggio, who played with Gehrig from 1936-1939, famously wore #5.
Both numbers (Gehrig's #4, DiMaggio's #5, as well as Ruth's #3 and several others) have been retired by the New York Yankees in honor of the players who wore them.
