Yesterday marked the 75th anniversary of Lou Gehrig’s death.
I’m guessing that has something to do with the addition of Lou Gehrig: Pride of the Yankees
by the legendary Paul Gallico to the Amazon baseball best-selling list (as a Kindle book).
Naturally more recent books on Gehrig have enjoyed the ability of temporal distance as well as the availability of additional research. Here are two of my favorites:
- Luckiest Man: The Life and Death of Lou Gehrig
, by Jonathan Eig
- Iron Horse: Lou Gehrig in His Time
, by Ray Robinson
