TSL: Doug Williams, John McEnroe & Alan Gaff

At the tender age of twenty-four, Lou Gehrig decided to tell the remarkable story of his life and career. He was one of the most famous athletes in the country, in the midst of a record-breaking season with the legendary 1927 World Series-winning Yankees. In an effort to grow Lou’s star, pioneering sports agent Christy Walsh arranged for Lou’s tale of baseball greatness to syndicate in newspapers across the country. Until now, those columns were largely forgotten and lost to history.  Lou comes alive in this inspiring memoir. It is a heartfelt rags-to-riches tale about a dirt poor kid from New York who became one of the most revered baseball players of all time.  Fourteen years after his account, Lou would tragically die from ALS, a neuromuscular disorder now known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease. His poignant autobiography is followed by an insightful biographical essay by historian Alan D. Gaff. Here is Lou—Hall of Famer, All Star, and MVP—back at bat. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Alan D. Gaff is an independent scholar and the author of many books, including Lou Gehrig: The Lost Memoir, Bayonets in the Wilderness, Blood in the Argonne, and On Many a Bloody Field, hailed as “a masterpiece of Civil War scholarship” (The Bookwatch). He lives in Indiana.  ---   Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/steve-richards/support

Alan Gaff- Lou Gehrig- The Lost Memoir

Welcome to The Not Old Better Show. I’m Paul Vogelzang, and this is episode #450. We all know that music, and as part of our Art of Living, author interview series, our guest today is baseball writer, historian, Alan Gaff. Alan Gaff is author of the new book, The Lost Memoir of Lou Gehrig. I loved the book, and for those of us eager to have baseball back in our lives, but watching Korean Baseball Organization’s brand of high energy baseball, and hoping baseball will return soon, you’ll love this book, too. Lou Gehrig, one of the greatest baseball players that ever lived, is so much more than the horrible disease that killed him. The first half of this book is told by Lou Gehrig in his own words through articles he wrote during his championship season in New York City. To be able to read Gehrig’s words describing his entrance into professional baseball was priceless. I’ll offer my thanks to our guest today, Alan D. Gaff, right now for collecting these forgotten newspaper columns. That, of course, is our guest today, Alan Gaff reading from his new book, Lou Gehrig, The Lost Memoir. And we heard the famous farewell speech by Lou Gehrig at Yankee Stadium, a baseball legend. Scott Boras, an attorney for baseball players, wrote a recent editorial in The NY Times, in which he said so eloquently, “In some of America’s darkest moments, the country has turned to Major League Baseball to bring hope and normalcy back to everyday life. It is time again for baseball to serve. The millions of baseball fans in America can continue to do a small part for the nation by staying at home while enjoying a sense of hope and normalcy and watching the game we love.” In the meantime, we can enjoy Alan Gaff’s new book, The Lost Memoir of Lou Gehrig.
