Lou gave Paul one of his World Series Gold Pocket watches as a thank you. I'm pretty sure his daughter still has it. Some of his most peaceful days he ever had were wandering around Rochester where he was just a patient. An American tradgedy.

By nature I hate the Yankees, but two names carry more weight within my Baseball bones more than any. Gehrig. DiMaggio. Especially Gehrig.

How can you even say them together? DiMaggio was a selfish, narcissistic p%$ck. Can you name one thing he ever did for another person, or even a team mate? He alienated his only son, both his wives, his sister and his brothers. A poor excuse for a human being.
