A baseball iconâs rediscovered memoir, enhanced with biographical material by the independent scholar who found it.
What The Reviewers Say
... casts one more light on the 1927 Yankees, considered by many to be the greatest team of all time. The columns have the feel of authenticity that many such columns ghosted from this period do not have.
... slim but distinctive.
Gaff astutely crafts a biography to accompany Gehrig's columns and focuses on details that parallel Gehrig's generosity of spirit.
The 'lost memoir' of Lou Gehrig is like a bowl of lukewarm oatmeal. It can fortify innocent youths, and it might soothe cranky dyspeptics. But it is bland mush.
