Advantages of Martial Arts for Kids
Martial arts are still considered a rather controversial subject, and the unfortunate misconception that they can promote violence is still present. However, just a little research will show any parent that martial arts promote the exact opposite of...
Bo Sox Power
Bo Sox Power As a Yankee fan for over 40 years I have seen many Yankee comebacks. 1978 was a great year. After being down 14 games the Bronx Bombers stormed back to overtake the Red Sox in the one game playoff. Bucky Dent sure had his baseball...
How to Buy World Series Tickets
How to Buy World Series Tickets Have you ever known someone who wanted so desperately to go to the Major League Baseball World Series that they were like a rabid dog? Well, I have…and it is not a pretty sight. I have been married for a few...
Sport View for October
For those of you keeping score at home, my preseason picks for the World Series were in fact Anaheim over Houston. Up until a week ago it wasn’t looking the least bit likely, now it’s at least possible (I will admit maybe not probable). But I do...
The Cure for a Fat Shot
This problem may be easier to fix than you think. You may not realize it, but your back shoulder may be dipping towards the ground. This move forces the club to hit the ground too early. Most of the time it happens when you are really trying to...

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.
