The lost memoir from Lou Gehrig--"a compelling rumination by a
baseball icon and a tragic hero" (Sports Illustrated) and "a
fitting tribute to an inspiring baseball legend" (Publishers
Weekly). At the tender age of twenty-four, Lou Gehrig decided to
tell the remarkable story of his life and career. He was one of the
most famous athletes in the country, in the midst of a
record-breaking season with the legendary 1927 World Series-winning
Yankees. In an effort to grow Lou's star, pioneering sports agent
Christy Walsh arranged for Lou's tale of baseball greatness to
syndicate in newspapers across the country. Those columns were
largely forgotten and lost to history--until now. Lou comes alive
in this "must-read" (Tyler Kepner, The New York Times) memoir. It
is an inspiring, heartfelt rags-to-riches tale about a poor kid
from New York who became one of the most revered baseball players
of all time. Fourteen years after his account, Lou would tragically
die from ALS, a neuromuscular disorder now known as Lou Gherig's
Disease. His poignant autobiography is followed by an insightful
biographical essay by historian Alan D. Gaff. Here is Lou--Hall of
Famer, All Star, MVP, an "athlete who epitomized the American
dream" (Christian Science Monitor)--back at bat.
