Post your Lou Gehrig's "... the luckiest man on the face of the Earth."

[tedzan]

A tremendous clutch hitter, as is evident with his still standing ML record of 23 Grand Slams (with just 493 HR's).

A clutch hitter in World Series play, Lou's BA = .361 with 35 RBI's in 7 Series. And, check-out his numbers in the
4-game 1928 W.S......

AAB = 17
BA = .545
SLA = .706
HR = 4
R = 5
RBI = 9
H = 6
BB = 6
K's = 0

Furthermore, from 1923-1934, Lou had a tremendous Runs Produced Index (RPI) of a Run/2.7 AB's.

For comparison, from 1923-1934, Babe Ruth's RPI = Run/2.4 AB's.

Gehrig and Ruth combined for an average of 3.2 runs produced per game for the Yankees, everyday for 12 con-
secutive years (1923-1934).
This is an amazing statistic....that I don't think can be matched in BB.
