Iron Horse: Lou Gehrig in His Time

Ray Robinson delivers another enjoyable baseball biography.

Iron Horse is beautiful tribute to one of the best loved Yankees. Robinson tells the story of Lou Gehrig a simple man who due to circumstances that are beyond his control has an incurable disease.He covers Gehrig's early years from the time he was born. We see his greatness as if we are there ourselves. And we learn the painful truth that sometimes life is cruel to even the young people around us. Lou set examples in leadership and of course in courage and anyone who reads this I hope will feel the same.

If you're a Lou Gehrig fan than this is the book that you need to add to your collection. The author, Ray Robinson, captured the man perfectly, from his humble beginnings to his tearful farewell. If you're a fan of the Yankees or just a fan a baseball and wish the game was really still played for "the love of the game" then this is the book for you.

Beautiful, simply beautiful! It is utterly amazing that so little in terms of books exist on Lou Gehrig. Ray Robinson has done a wonderful job of bringing Lou Gehrig to the forefront. He truly deserves a well written book. Ray Robinson does just that. Thank you Ray!

Ray Robinson gives us a different look at Lou's life. The often strained relation with fellow teammate Babe Ruth. The softness in Lou's heart that touches many as well as the outstanding performances Lou achieved in his brillant baseball career that were often over shadowed by Ruth. A definate must read for Yankees fans, baseball fans and anyone one interested in a remarkable man.

This is probably my favorite book of all time. It made me a fan of Lou's, and now, after extensive research, I have come to Idolize Lou. I love Robinson's writing style, and hope to become an author myself. Thank you for writing a wonderful book!!
