I rooted for Lou to hold bis own in this new combination, and to keep putting his consecutive-gamee reoord further out of any futurep!ayer*sreach. And for a long, long time he came through. But then 1 began to bear some strange stories about the Dutch man. Lou had a terrible spring season in 1939, and then sent word to me that he was going to the Mayo Clinic for a checkup. In June of 1939 the country learned the worst--that he had a rare form of infantile paralysis. His great streak ended at 2130 games. No matterBow long I live, 1*11 never forget the least detail of the Gehrig Day at the Stadium--July 4/1939. Lou spoke aa I never thought Vd hear a man speak in a ball park. Every word he said plainly came from his heart, and the big crowd of more than 60,000 was obviously affected. The Dutchman spoke of Mom and Pop Gehrig, and Eleanor, his wiefcand what the Yanks had meant to him, and when he said, "I consider myself the luckiest man in the world," I couldn't stand it any longer. I went overto him and put ray arm around him, and though I tried to smile and cheer him up,! could not keep from crying. So You Read the Ads?
