Lou Gehrig's perseverance is legendary. During fourteen years as a first baseman for the New York Yankees, he played in a record 2,130 consecutive games, earning himself the nickname Iron Horse. Lou loved baseball and considered himself a very lucky man, even though on his thirty-sixth birthday he was diagnosed with a rare and fatal disease.

<b>Del Negro, Janice M., <i>Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books</i>:</b> "Widener's acrylic paintings have a monumental feel to them (similar to the mythic proportions of figures in WPA murals), yet they sustain an easy appeal throughout....As beginning biographies go, this one is a home run."

Publisher's Note

1903 was a year of great beginnings. Henry Ford sold his first automobile and the Wright Brothers made the first successful flight in an airplane. In baseball, the first World Series was played. The team later known as the Yankees moved from Baltimore to New York. And on June 19, 1903, Henry Louis Gehrig was born. He would become one of the greatest players in baseball history.
