Interestin...!

Before I read your post, I was thinkin that throughout this entire thread...
The Lack of the Lack of Support that Lou Gehrig was getting.
Knowin that opposing pitchers "HAD TO PITCH TO'em"(Because Ruth was uP Next!), Only made Mr. Gehrig's job that much more difficult!
My whole life I've thought Mr. Gehrig to be a better All around player than Mr. Ruth, except in the pitching area.

It Baffles me that Lou Gehrig is Not iN Many of our members Top 5 lists.

I'd say the same for Christy Mathewson... As the Top 5 list goes!
He made the Giants a far Better Team when he was on the mound.

In All, I definitely like everyone's perspective though!

I've always liked these threads... Simply Awesome!!!

Gehrig batted after Ruth far more than in front of him.

In any case having a great hitter hit behind you makes the batter's job easier not harder -- the pitchers have to come into the strike zone.
