A captivating biography of the legendary ball player Lou Gehrig, known for both his prowess on the field and his courage in life. Robinson re-creates the life of this legendary baseball player and also provides a insightful look at baseball through the depression years. 50 photographs.

Lou Gehrig will go down in history as one of the best ballplayers of all time; he was elected to the Hall of Fame and played in a record-setting 2,130 consecutive games. ALS--known today as "Lou Gehrig's Disease"--robbed him of his physical skills at a relatively young age, and he died in 1941. Ray Robinson re-creates the life of this legendary ballplayer and also provides an insightful look at baseball, including all the great players of that era: Babe Ruth, Ty Cobb, Walter Johnson, and more. 16 photographs.

Ray Robinson (1921--2017) was an American journalist and nonfiction writer whose work often focused on sports topics.
