Lou Gehrig as Tarzan?? In 1936, MGM lost the rights for the successful series of Tarzan movies to producer Sol Lesser, who went on the hunt for a new "Ape Man." Lou Gehrig's agent Christy Walsh thought the publicity of Hollywood would be good for Gehrig's career and after the 1936 World Series, he leaked the idea to the newspapers and the idea caught on. Walsh hired a photographer and a set of photos were taken, showing the massive muscles of Gehrig. However, those "iron legs", which producer Lesser called "more functional the decorative" proved his downfall, as he was deemed too muscular and bulky to portray Tarzan. The role went to Glenn Morris, the movie bombed, and Gehrig returned to first base.
@Theismann7@nsccshow@BuffaloBills Joe- Saw Coach Levy on the jogging path about 15+ years ago along Chicago's lakefront in the middle of a snowy winter day!
I recognized him and said "Hey Coach!"
We waved back, said hello and kept churning away on his winter workout (amazing).
Happy 101st Birthday Coach!
A friend @PurdueAlumni sent me the Caitlin Clark book by @cbrennansports
A nice read
Brennan does a great job hammering home the impact (Clark Effect) of TV ratings, attendance, jersey sales, etc. that define CC22 as the transformational athlete of our time in (or ON) Her Game
Back in the "Roaring" 1920s, Clara Bow was the top box office draw in film & she was known as "The IT Girl"
A century later, on a basketball court of all places, we have another "IT Girl"
Like many folks, I love history & I would argue that we're witnessing "IT" right now.
Imagine at your job putting up with
1. Flying on private jets (I've done that once in my life)
2. Higher salaries
3. Exploding fan attendance
4. Higher TV ratings & revenue
5. New commercial endorsement opportunities
6. Jersey/merchandise sales boost
Why would you want that?
