This review is from: Lou Gehrig: One of Baseball's Greatest (Childhood of Famous Americans) (Paperback)

I am a HUGE yankee fan, and I thought I knew about Lou Gehrig and his Yankee career days. After reading the book, I found out what he was like to be a kid and growing up. It was super. I really enjoyed it - it was very informative and very exciting.

I highly recommend it!!!

THis is a good book for baseball fans all over. It's more of a kid's book, but it's got great info. It even has his "luckiest man in the world" speech in it!
