Title: Lou Gehrig; The stuff of legends
Review: Lou Gehrig is the best 1st baseman who ever lived. He was the ultimate RBI machine. But he also was a human being. A human being with flaws and weaknesses. And that is why I admire him so much. Johanthan Eig draws a mooving picture of the Iron Horse, his childhood, his dependent relation with an overwhelming mother, the first steps with the Yankees, the misunderstanding with the Babe, and the terrible blow life throwed at him.Finally, Gehrig's story is one of a boy, growing up to become a man, who painfully and slowly tries to espace his mother influence and control over him. Luckily for him, his baseball immense talent helped him sever or soften the unhealthy tie his mother kept over him.Even if his "Luckiest Man on earth" speech is an historical masterpiece from a Great Man and the stuff of legends, you'll be also moove by what he did of his few remaining days.Luckiest Man is probably the best baseball bio there is.
