Last Ride of the Iron Horse tells the story of Lou Gehrig's final
year in the Yankee lineup, as he dealt with early effects of the
deadly disease ALS.For much of the 1938 season, Gehrig --
dubbed the Iron Horse for his strength and reliability --
struggled with slumps and a mystifying loss of power. Fans
booed and sportswriters called for him to be benched. Then,
as the Yankees battled for the pennant in August, Lou began
pounding home runs like his old self -- a turnaround that in
retrospect looks truly miraculous. It may have been a rare case
of temporary ALS reversal.Using rare film footage, radio
broadcasts, newspapers and interviews, author Dan Joseph
chronicles Gehrig's roller coaster of a year. The story begins in
Hollywood, where the handsome "Larrupin' Lou"
films a Western that would be his only movie. As the year
unfolds, he holds out for baseball’s highest salary,
battles injuries that would sideline a lesser man, wins his sixth
World Series ring, and enters the political arena for the first
time, denouncing the rising threat of Nazism.Joseph also
answers questions that have long intrigued Gehrig's admirers:
When did he sense something was wrong with his body? What
were the first signs? How did he adjust? And did he still help
the Yankees win the championship, even as his skills
declined?1938 would be Gehrig's last hurrah. With his strength
fading, he ended his renowned consecutive games streak the
following May. A few weeks later, doctors at the Mayo Clinic
diagnosed him with ALS. On July 4th, the Yankees retired his
number in a ceremony at Yankee Stadium. All along, Gehrig
showed remarkable courage and grace, never more so than
when he told the stadium crowd, "I might have been given
a bad break, but I've got an awful lot to live for."
