Mr Runs Batted In, Lou Gehrig
Mr Runs Batted In, Lou Gehrig
Whenever I think of Lou Gehrig, I think of power, consistency
and most of all runs batted in. Lou was in business. His
business was driving in runs. He had a thriving production
company. He had seven years where his business surpassed 150
RBIs in that year.. And his RBIs per game is still the highest
percentage in major league history at .921 runs driven in per
game. From 1930 to 1934 he knocked in 813 runs. Averaging 162
rbis per season. More than one rbi per game.
Whenever I look at Lou Gehrig's statistics I find something new
about the man. Like the number of triples he hit. Being a Yankee
fan as I was growing up, anything connected with the Yanks
caught my eye. When I saw "Pride of The Yankees," with Gary
Cooper and Teresa Wright I found another hero.
Gary Cooper's portrayal of Lou Gehrig was that of a strong,
focused and
quiet man. I related I was very quiet as a kid. His
success made me feel good. I was so proud that I liked the
Yankees because Lou Gehrig was a part of my team. You did not
get any better than Lou. Lou Gehrig has been an inspiration for
me. I look at what he has accomplished in his baseball life. I
am amazed. I have seen film of Lou batting without a shirt on.
As his muscles rip as he swings the bat I am reminded of his
awesome power and strength.
