Reviews
Gaff's slim but distinctive contribution to the Gehrig syllabus shifts our attention to the Hall of Famer's improbable rise--in its way, every bit as inspiring as the courage he demonstrated later., Gehrig reveals a great deal about himself and his insecurities, both in his youth and in his years in professional baseball...The Yankee first baseman has very interesting observations and comments on his teammates and opponents., Gaff astutely crafts a biography to accompany Gehrig's columns and focuses on details that parallel Gehrig's generosity of spirit. Perhaps most movingly, Gaff revisits the Yankee great's post-baseball career. Despite the ravages of ALS, Gehrig worked for the parole board, counseling young men who had taken a wrong turn in life.

Synopsis
The lost memoir from baseball icon Lou Gehrig--a major historical discovery, published for the first time as a book, with "color commentary" from historian Alan Gaff. In 1927, the legendary Lou Gehrig sat down to write the remarkable story of his life and career. He was at his peak, fresh off a record-breaking season with the fabled '27 World Series champion Yankees. It was an era unlike any other. Gehrig's personal remembrances were published that year as popular weekly columns in The Oakland Tribune . Until now, those pages were lost to history. Lou comes alive in his captivating memoir. It is a heartfelt rags-to-riches tale about a poor kid from New York who grew up to become one of the greatest. He takes us to his childhood home, to Columbia University where he flashed as a prospect, all the way to the dugout at Yankee Stadium where he recounts his first major league hit and bonding with Babe Ruth. There is a real poignancy to this tale. Built like a heavyweight boxer, "Iron Horse" Lou was one of the most powerful men to play the game. Off the field he was a shy, gentle soul. He would die prematurely from ALS, a degenerative neuromuscular disorder now known as Lou Gehrig's Disease. Here is Lou back at bat--Hall of Famer, All Star, and MVP. Lou Gehrig is a monument and tribute to a singular life and career., The lost memoir from Lou Gehrig--"a compelling rumination by a baseball icon and a tragic hero" ( Sports Illustrated ) and "a fitting tribute to an inspiring baseball legend" ( Publishers Weekly ). At the tender age of twenty-four, Lou Gehrig decided to tell the remarkable story of his life and career. He was one of the most famous athletes in the country, in the midst of a record-breaking season with the legendary 1927 World Series-winning Yankees. In an effort to grow Lou's star, pioneering sports agent Christy Walsh arranged for Lou's tale of baseball greatness to syndicate in newspapers across the country. Those columns were largely forgotten and lost to history--until now. Lou comes alive in this "must-read" (Tyler Kepner, The New York Times ) memoir. It is an inspiring, heartfelt rags-to-riches tale about a poor kid from New York who became one of the most revered baseball players of all time. Fourteen years after his account, Lou would tragically die from ALS, a neuromuscular disorder now known as Lou Gherig's Disease. His poignant autobiography is followed by an insightful biographical essay by historian Alan D. Gaff. Here is Lou--Hall of Famer, All Star, MVP, an "athlete who epitomized the American dream" ( Christian Science Monitor )--back at bat.
