Iron
Horse : Lou Gehrig in His Time
by Ray Robinson
A captivating biography of the legendary ball player Lou Gehrig, known
for both his prowess on the field and his courage in life.Lou Gehrig will
go down in history as one of the best ballplayers of all time. With a career
average of .340 and 493 home runs, he played in a record-setting 2,130
consecutive games and was elected to the Hall of Fame. He was robbed of
his superb physical skills as a relatively young man by ALS, the degenerative
disease now known as "Lou Gehrig's Disease", and died in 1941. Ray Robinson
re-creates the life of this legendary ballplayer and also provides an
insightful look at baseball through the Depression years, including all
the great players of that era -- Babe Ruth, Ty Cobb, Miller Huggins, and
more. Amazon.com
