Title: Near-Perfect Baseball Biography
Review: The best thing I can say about this book is that it reads like a novel. Lou Gehrigs's life reads like Roy Hobbs' life in "The Natural," by Bernard Malamud (not the movie!). Both men are gifted and decent players, whose lives and careers are cut short by disease. I'm a long-time fan of both Gehrig and baseball, and was captivated by Eig's writing, and the details he put down about baseball back then, as well as Gehrig's life.Superb.
