This biography traces Gehrig's life, from childhood through his
illustrious career with the Yankees to his struggle with amyotrophic
lateral sclerosis and his tragic death at age thirty-seven. Expressive
illustrations capture the strength, modesty, and dignity for which this
remarkable man will always be remembered. "Readers will feel good after
reading this biography--and maybe even inspired to start measuring
themselves against Gehrig's standard."--Kirkus Reviews
