Lou Gehrig
“Italian-Americans in New York had not been in much of a flag-waving mood prior to DiMaggio's arrival. By the All-Star break, the rookie had established himself as a wonderful player (.358, 10HR, 60 RBIs), fully justifying the acclaim. But Gehrig was even better (.399, 20 HR, 61 RBIs). He was leading the league in nearly every category, including invisibility.”
Jonathan Eig, Luckiest Man: The Life and Death of Lou Gehrig“When you have a father and a mother who work all their lives so you can have an education and build your body - it's a blessing.”
Lou Gehrig“The ballplayer who loses his head, who can't keep his cool, is worse than no ballplayer at all.”
Lou Gehrig“Tunney has all the makings of a hero – he was clean living, intelligent, polite, reasonably good-looking – but, like Lou Gehrig, he lacked the chemistry that stirred affection.”
Bill Bryson, One Summer: America, 1927“James Parkinson. George Huntington. Robert Graves. John Down. Now this Lou Gehrig fellow of mine. How did men come to monopolize disease names too?”
