“When it comes to the confluence of sports, business, and culture, nobody hits and fields like Richard Sandomir, an all-star, maybe even an Iron Horse.”
—Robert Lipsyte, author of An Accidental Sportswriter
“Think you know all there is to know about Lou Gehrig and the movie that so movingly tells his tragic story? Think again. In this fascinating new book, the great Richard Sandomir takes us inside the making of The Pride of the Yankees while also delivering rich new detail about Gehrig’s short life. It’s a cliché to say ‘this book is a home run,’ but it’s true.”
—Christine Brennan, USA Today sports columnist
