Gehrig memoirs from new book
 

I don’t know if this has already been posted, but it’s good article from Gehrig’s own words about himself and mostly about the Babe

Thanks. I had not seen.

Will try to find out a little more about the books. Part of me thinks that puff pieces Lou wrote for the local newspaper aren't going to prove a whole lot of value in trying to understand the man.

?
 

What are you trying to find out ? Not sure I have any other insight into either Lou or Babe, but just curious about that statement.

Gehrig was a taciturn quy with very little to say. He would never have been anyone's choice for a newspaper column giving the inside scoop on anything. (And he wasn't.)

I bought the book and enjoyed it. But I really didn't learn anything about Lou I didn't know. The Gehrig columns were cool, but really just Lou saying this guy is a great guy, this guy is a great guy, this guy is a great guy. Fluff. I don't think Lou was a particularly reflective guy, and whatever real opinions he had on anything he wasn't sharing with a news writer. Comes off a very nice simple guy.
