Thinking about Lou Gehrig’s final years always gets me in the feels. He was so big and strong, so durable and talented, and he might have finished his career with the greatest numbers in MLB history. In another timeline, maybe he is even more highly regarded than Babe Ruth.

Gehrig was certainly the greatest New York native to wear the pinstripes; he was the Iron Horse, even through 1938, playing all those games in a row and putting up numbers that were modest for him but aspirational for any other man as his body betrayed him.

There are two stories in particular from the end of his career that leave me wistful almost without exception, and they both have to do with the people around him coming to terms with the situation:

1. His teammates knew just how great he’d been, so it became obvious to them once something was wrong. They dealt with it in ways that were quietly considerate, like starting the tradition of excluding the first baseman from the infield throw-it-around after an out so that Lou had a moment to catch his breath and get back in position. But they also dealt with it clumsily near the end, congratulating Lou — one of the greatest players of all time, remember — on fielding even the most routine ground balls, patting him on the back with tears in their eyes, more a gesture of condolences than congratulations.

2. Regular, everyday folks on the street, after learning of his condition, went out of their way to look out for him. Lou was quiet and spent a great deal of time in Ruth’s shadow, but had become a fan favorite nonetheless. The stories of him slipping or stumbling on street corners as his body failed him, only to have a gaggle of bystanders appear out of nowhere to catch him before he hit the ground, show you just how endeared he was to his hometown crowd. New York born and bred, educated there, made a legend there. New Yorkers look out for each other, but especially for their heroes.

Some days I wake up and wonder if Lou Gehrig, all things considered, might have been the greatest player of all time.

I finished Schoolboy today. What a unique and amazing project. A job well done good sir. I can’t stop myself from reverting to Waite’s thoughts on the Babe, the Iron Horse, getting sober, and so many amazing anecdotes related to the great game of baseball.

@MLBONFOX You’re an idiot and an asshole, John. It’s not hard to manage with some class. Your arrogance is losthsome.

Ha ha…..love the Roy Hobbs reference.

[Super 70s Sports @Super70sSports]

Bo Jackson makes the greatest outfield throw I’ve ever seen. The Mariners coaching staff looks like the other team when Roy Hobbs knocked the cover off the ball. Complete disbelief. Just an incredible sequence.
