The Iron Horse

This is not a long biography of Gehrig, which is good if you like quick reading. It brings out the character in the quiet consistant ballplayer who played second fiddle on a great baseball dynasty. It is about how Lou Gehrig lived, how he played, and how he died, with a lot of great pictures as well. His tragic death shocked a nation, and his life was turned into a movie shortly after. This is the story of the greatest first baseman of all time.
