Lou Gehrig, “Farewell to Baseball Address”
Establish a pattern then give it a twist When you have a wonderful mother-in-law who
takes sides with you in squabbles against her own daughter, that’s something.
When you have a father and mother who work all their lives so that you can have an education and build your body, it’s a blessing!
When you have a wife who has been a tower of strength and shown more courage than you dreamed existed, that’s the finest I know.

Fear not the long sentence Sure, I’m lucky. Who wouldn’t consider it an
honor to have known Jacob Ruppert – also the builder of baseball’s greatest empire, Ed Barrow – to have spent the next nine years with that wonderful little fellow Miller Huggins – then to have spent the next nine years with that outstanding leader, that smart student of psychology – the best manager in baseball today, Joe McCarthy!
