Like a powerful locomotive, Lou Gehrig slugged his way through 14
years as the pride of the Yankees. Never missing a game during his
career, the six-time All-Star set the American League record with
184 RBI in 1931, hit a record 23 grand slams, won two Most Valuable
Player awards, and won the 1934 Triple Crown. Refusing to see
himself as a natural, Gehrig achieved greatness through an
unwavering dedication to practice. Then suddenly, the Iron Man
began to rust. The home runs ceased. The hits became misses. Gehrig
had contracted amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS. Yet
harnessing the strength he had displayed on the baseball diamond,
Lou Gehrig struggled onward with dignity and purpose. Though the
disease that now bears his name ultimately took Lou Gehrig's life,
it did not extinguish his spirit or his incredible legacy. ""Lou
Gherig"" is an engrossing new biography that celebrates a man who
was not only a baseball great but also a true American hero.
