“A
compelling rumination by a baseball icon and a tragic hero.” —Sports
Illustrated
The
lost memoir from baseball icon Lou Gehrig—a sensational discovery, published
for the first time as a book.
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. Until now, those columns were largely forgotten and lost to history.
Lou comes alive in this
inspiring memoir. It is a heartfelt rags-to-riches tale about a dirt 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 Gehrig’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, and MVP—back at bat.
