“A” and I were talking the other day about the sad fact that lou Gehrig’s awesome accomplishments get over shadowed by the tragic way he died. I will be putting up a number of posts that highlight his baseball career. I am doing this to honor the real and spectacular lives of Lou Gehrig, my physical therapist Jane, and others who should be remembered for the way they lived.

/ March 21, 2009That’s a great idea, Believer! Sometimes the phrase “Lou Gehrig’s Disease” sounds like a married name, like his maiden name was “Lou Gehrig,” then he hyphenated it after he married someone named “Sdisease.”

/ March 22, 2009I’m partial to variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease and Börjeson-Forssman-Lehmann syndrome, but am glad they aren’t named after me.
