Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

Interesting tidbits abound in this fascinating biography of a true hero. Bak tells how Gehrig, while suffering from ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis), gave a farewell speech that became the baseball equivalent of Lincoln's Gettysburg Address. Gehrig's life story continues to strike a chord, and libraries would do well to order this lovely book.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Iron Horse, August 9, 2003
This review is from: Lou Gehrig: An American Classic (Hardcover)
This is not a long biography of Gehrig, which is good if you like quick reading. It brings out the character in the quiet consistant ballplayer who played second fiddle on a great baseball dynasty. It is about how Lou Gehrig lived, how he played, and how he died, with a lot of great pictures as well. His tragic death shocked a nation, and his life was turned into a movie shortly after. This is the story of the greatest first baseman of all time.
