Lou Gehrig: Pride of the Yankees
A touching tribute to one of the greatest ballplayers of all time For seventeen seasons, Lou Gehrig was the heart and soul of the New York Yankees. The power-hitting first baseman donned the pinstripes for 2,130 consecutive games, a streak that earned him the nickname “the Iron Horse” and went unbroken for more than five decades. World Series champion, All-Star, American League Most Valuable Player, Triple Crown winner—the list of Gehrig’s on-field achievements is spectacular. But he is best remembered for the grace and the strength with which he faced an insurmountable challenge off the the disease that ended his career and which now bears his name. When he retired on April 30, 1939, Lou Gehrig called himself “the luckiest man on the face of the earth.” His words continue to resonate more than seventy-five years after they were spoken. In this heartfelt biography, which was the basis for the Academy Award–winning film The Pride of the Yankees, starring Gary Cooper, legendary sportswriter Paul Gallico tells the story of how a son of German immigrants rose to the pinnacle of greatness in America’s pastime and inspired the nation as no other athlete ever has.

About the author
Paul Gallico
191 books317 followersPaul William Gallico was born in New York City, on 26th July, 1897. His father was an Italian, and his mother came from Austria; they emigrated to New York in 1895.
He went to school in the public schools of New York, and in 1916 went to Columbia University. He graduated in 1921 with a Bachelor of Science degree, having lost a year and a half due to World War I. He then worked for the National Board of Motion Picture Review, and after six months took a job as the motion picture critic for the New York Daily News. He was removed from this job as his "reviews were too Smart Alecky" (according to Confessions of a Story Teller), and took refuge in the sports department.
During his stint there, he was sent to cover the training camp of Jack Dempsey, and decided to ask Dempsey if he could spar with him, to get an idea of what it was like to be hit by the world heavyweight champion. The results were spectacular; Gallico was knocked out within two minutes. But he had his story, and from there his sports-writing career never looked back.
He became Sports Editor of the Daily News in 1923, and was given a daily sports column. He also invented and organised the Golden Gloves amateur boxing competition. During this part of his life, he was one of the most well-known sporting writers in America, and a minor celebrity. But he had always wanted to be a fiction writer, and was writing short stories and sports articles for magazines like Vanity Fair and the Saturday Evening Post. In 1936, he sold a short story to the movies for $5000, which gave him a stake. So he retired from sports writing, and went to live in Europe, to devote himself to writing. His first major book was Farewell to Sport, which as the title indicates, was his farewell to sports writing.
Though his name was well-known in the United States, he was an unknown in the rest of the world. In 1941, the Snow Goose changed all that, and he became, if not a best-selling author by today's standards, a writer who was always in demand. Apart from a short spell as a war correspondent between 1943 and 1946, he was a full-time freelance writer for the rest of his life. He has lived all over the place, including England, Mexico, Lichtenstein and Monaco, and he lived in Antibes for the last years of his life.
He was a first-class fencer, and a keen deep-sea fisherman. He was married four times, and had several children.
He died in Antibes on 15th July, 1976, just short of his 79th birthday.

Whaddaya DO with your life, if you’re a BORN LOSER in your friends’ eyes?
Well, If you’re like Lou Gehrig - later the Pride of the New York Yankees in the Depression Years of the 1930’s - you just keep on raising your Own Personal Bar.
Until you get it right.
And BOY, did he get it right!
So he became a Powerhouse in his chosen métier - Baseball.
Now, ALL the Down and Outs across the world needed a Hero in those grimy Dust Bowl years, and Lou to them was the greatest thing since sliced bread.
But Lou was an awkward guy from a poor family who learned in childhood to go WITHOUT love and adulation. So much that he was ready to die at the sudden nervous embarrassment of being rich and famous (Rich? Yeah - for signing with the Yanks, Lou was given the [then princely] sum of $500.00!).
So what did young Lou do, to avoid all that Mass Love and Adulation?
He just said, AW, SHUCKS, & kept raising that old bar, again and again, simply for himself and his too-ephemeral peace of mind.
I know, we ALL know sports legends who’ve gone to seed with drink or dope in order to deal with all that suddenly-nerve-wracking attention. Unsung heroes in their own right in their downhill struggle to evade the demons of fame!
But Lou got off all that steam just by Conquering Himself.
And by pouring all his love at the worshipful feet of his Forever Wife.
Until the day TRAGEDY struck.
As if it all hadn’t been just TOO MUCH already...
ALS. A death sentence.
Well. Do you think everyone’s bashful idol and all-round best bud, Lou Gehrig, just threw in the towel at that point?
Nope.
He JUST RAISED THAT BAR AGAIN.
Until he had raised it to the Height of Heaven....
THIS is the old-fashioned best-selling bio by the great sports journalist Paul Gallico - author of the Snow Goose, the Poseidon Adventure (remember that great flick?) and many other forties and fifties runaway bestsellers.
You may even remember that it was the Inspiration for the Academy Award winning film of the same name.
It’s a KEEPER.
And it’ll likely be the Truest & Best Bio you’ll EVER read of this 100% Red Blooded American Legend.

I received this E book from Netgalley a while back and I thought I already did the review. I did not. This book was basis for the movie about his life that stared Gary Cooper. I found that there was some information inside the book that was different than the movie. Like when he realized that the woman who would later become his wife was interested in him. He went to her hotel at 4 in the morning because that is when he realized what she had told him. Also how the members of the fraternity treated him was worse than what was made out in the film. I liked the love story between him and his wife and how he really did get married at his home by the mayor of the town in front of the workers because of a disagreement between her and his mother. Also at the end it turned out that she knew more about his illness than he did. After he passed and they did an autopsy they found he had over 200 injuries that he never told anyone about. Raging from broken bones to knee, and hip and shoulder. I thought that to be very interesting since now everyone takes days off for everything, and back then they did not have the medical or even the desire to leave the game for fear of losing their place. Overall a very good book and a little different than the movie. A good book for anyone. I got this book from Netgalley.com I gave it 5 stars. Follow us at www.1rad-readerreviews.com

My older brother-in-law gave me this book several years ago because he knew I was a baseball fan. This was a childhood favorite of his and I was glad to get it. I decided to finally read it this year as my annual book related to baseball that I try to read each year during the baseball playoffs/World Series. This year (2024) the Yankees are playing the Dodgers in the Series. Kind of a ho-hum series for me because I really don't like either team. As of today, the Dodgers lead the series 3 games to 0 so it looks like a loss to the Yankees. Although I have never liked the Yankees because of their domination in the game, I do admire many of their former players including the greats: Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Joe DiMaggio, Mickey Mantle, and others so I was looking forward to reading this biography of Gehrig.
Gehrig was a great player for the Yankees during their heyday in the 1930s. He was overshadowed by Babe Ruth in his early days but came into his own as his career progressed. He won the triple crown (batting, home runs, and RBIs) in 1934 and home run titles in 1931, 1934, and 1936. He was MVP twice, had a career batting average of .340, and hit 493 career home runs. But his most significant record is consecutive games played at 2,130. The streak ended when Gehrig took himself out of the game because his performance became hampered by an undiagnosed ailment. After a trip to the Mayo Clinic he was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), an incurable neuromuscular disease which is now commonly referred to as "Lou Gehrig's Disease." He never played again and died of complications to the disease in 1941.
This biography was really a sentimental tribute to Gehrig and was also the basis for the 1942 film, The Pride of the Yankees starring Gary Cooper.
It tells of Gehrig's early years living a poor life with his family and his adjustment to playing baseball. At first, he didn't really have what it took to play the game but with coaching he became a great first baseman and hitter. He was basically a shy person and when he eventually made it to the "bigs", he was overshadowed by the great Babe Ruth. According to the book, he stayed away for the most part from drinking, carousing, and womanizing which were the norms for most big league players at the time. He was very shy but eventually found his soul mate in Eleanor Twitchell who was able to help him through his later years with ALS. Overall, this was a short inspiring look at Gehrig but I think it really didn't tell his whole story. At some point, I would like to read a more in-depth biography of this great player.

Lou Gehrig: Pride of the Yankees by Paul Gallico is an inspiring brief biography about the son of German immigrants, who grew up poor without a winter coat (in Wisconsin) and patches on his clothes in a household without a lot of expressed love. He was very fit, and growing up played a number of different sports, few of which came easy for him, least of all baseball, although he excelled in most.
His superpower was dogged persistence, as he drilled repeatedly to hone those skills that needed sharpening. Economic necessity drew him away from an Engineering program in college, and toward the ready cash of signing with the Yankees. He was his own harshest critic, an endless loop tape of self talk that crippled his self esteem, making him feel unworthy of any woman’s attention. Despite all his challenges he ended up with one of the most successful sports careers of all time, winning the love and admiration of a nation, finding the love of his life, and living large until the end.
It’s a story worth telling, and one well worth reading. As author Paul Gallico noted, “But the light that really shines like a friendly, beckoning beacon, is that of the spirit of a clean, honest, decent, kindly fellow gleaming through the gloom and darkness of a dispirited, disillusioned world. It is less the man our weary souls have canonized, so much as the things for which he stood for and by which he lived and died. And for the seeing of those, we must all of us, great and small, be very grateful.”

A short read and evidently the basis used for the movie starring Gary Cooper (who didn’t play or know much about baseball).

Ellie and I watched the movie interpretation of this after she started her clinical work on ALS (Lou Gehrigs disease). The movie was made in the 1940s. Babe Ruth plays himself. It is incredibly heartwarming. This book, that inspired the movie, is no different. What an incredible man and example of persistence, commitment, humility and kindness in suffering.

Pride of the Yankees, original story by Paul Gallico
9 out of 10
Inspiring, motivating and beautiful, Pride of the Yankees is included on The New York Times' Best 1,000 Movies Ever Made list.
It is the story of Lou Gehrig, one of the legendary baseball players.
Even for those of us who are not American and do not live in one of the other countries that care much about this sport, this film is marvelous.
Because the hero is not just a member of team playing something incomprehensible and not interesting in the least for those mentioned above.
Lou Gehrig is the paradigm of the serious, modest, hard working, talented, amusing, generous role model.
Furthermore he is portrayed by another legend, Gary Cooper who is splendid in this role that seems to represent the actor as well.
Surprisingly, the other iconic figure that played with Gehrig, Babe Ruth is played by...himself.
In the beginning, when they first played together, Ruth had been already consecrated as one of the stars of the game, perhaps the Number One player.
The team mates play a trick on the rookie Gehrig, who is made to take two bites of the hat of Babe Ruth.
When the latter sees that, he explodes and wants to destroy the green, new player.
For all his life, the hero has had an interesting, very close relationship with Mom Gehrig, his 'best girl'.
Psychoanalysts would make much of this closeness, which could have changed the life of this athlete.
Mom Gehrig wanted her son to become someone in America, get an education and become an engineer.
But even as a child, Lou had an amazing strike and his parents had to pay for quite a few windows, smashed by balls sent rocketing from his baseball bat.
Nevertheless, when he is chosen by the Yankees, Lou and his father hide the fact from Mom, who would indeed be disappointed when she learns her son would not be an engineer.
Devoted and kind, the new player paid for the treatment in a special facility for his mother, who was impressed with the services, but was told that they are covered, nobody has to pay for it.
The hero and Babe Ruth visit a crippled child and Ruth declares he would score a home run for the boy.
When pressed by the child, Lou Gehrig agrees to promise he would score two!
He had to in a way, because he just had made a speech to the patient, explaining that if you set your mind and decide to do something, you will do it...
A version of the famous Yes We Can.
Indeed, Lou Gehrig has been inspirational for the boy and many others.
They would meet later and the boy would show how he can walk now.
When he promised the two home runs, which he would deliver, Gehrig had made the boy promise something in his turn.
The patient had to declare he would walk on his own feet out of the hospital...

I didn’t know much about Lou except that the disease that killed him was often linked with his name. And I did see the movie, and thought him quite heroic. The book talks about his tough childhood, love of his mother, and greater love for his wife. I’m glad I read the book because it was more factual than the movie. I like reading books that inspire and motivate. That was this book.
May 29, 2017
Pretty superficial biography. Parallels the movie almost exactly. Pass if you're interested in an in-depth look at Gehrig and the early 20th century Yankees.

Read when I was about 11, during my “Lou Gehrig fascination stage”. I recall that it was very good.
November 7, 2023
Just an excellent telling of a remarkable man and one of the greatest Yankees ever. The Gary Cooper movie about Gehrig was based on this book. What a guy!

2.5 rounded up. Very much a product of its time.

It was a short biography of baseball great Lou Gehrig written shortly after his career ended prematurely due to A. L. S..

This baseball bio was written a long time ago and is now available digitally. Thank you to Net Galley and Open Road Integrated Media for allowing me an advance glimpse in exchange for my review.
Lou Gehrig, Iron Man", the first baseman who served alongside Babe Ruth on the Yankees' Murderers Row in the 1920's, was the kind of athlete you don't read about much these days. He was born so poor that he went through New York City winters without a coat to wear to school. His parents were German immigrants who had never heard of baseball; he himself was a hard working, clean living young man who dropped out of Columbia University to play ball because his father was sick and his parents needed the money. He kept a clean mouth, was faithful to his wife, and didn't abuse the press or his fellow athletes. The terrible disease that would be named after him killed him before he hit forty.
The biography is unusually short, just 77 pages long. Ordinarily I don't prefer to read anything that brief, but I've mowed through some baseball biographies in the past year already, and I decided 77 pages was as much as I was good for on this subject. However, this was well done enough that I would have been willing to keep reading had it gone longer.
Gallico, Gehrig's biographer, is eloquent, using what would now be considered a prosy, old-fashioned style, sentimental, and deeply affectionate. He was a legendary sportswriter himself back in the day, but quit in order to write fiction; he is also the author of The Poseidon Adventure.
Recommended to those that love baseball, or just a good biography.

I received a prerelease e-copy of this book through NetGalley (publication date April 7, 2015) with the expectation that I will post a review on their site and others (my blog, Goodreads, Facebook, Google +, LinkedIn, Twitter, Amazon, etc.).
I requested this book as I am an avid New York Yankees fan and I have read several biographies of Lou Gehrig. This is the first book I have read by Paul Gallico.
This is a reprint of an early biography of Lou Gehrig. It is a very quick read (less than two hours) due to the fact that it is not an indepth biography, but one that is intended to provide the reader with a sense of who the Iron Horse was in a broader overview manner. As intended, it pretty much parallels the movie of the same name that starred Gary Cooper as Lou Gehrig.
My recommendation of this book is for those who are not interested in a deeper look into the character and achievements of Lou Gehrig.

The Introduction by Bill Dickey was better than the book itself.

Little book that speaks volumes of a decent man, an athlete so unlike too many of today’s stats. Well worth the read
