Thanks to Ed Randall for having me on his WFAN radio show, and for his thumbs-up on my Lou Gehrig book, "Last Ride of the Iron Horse." As Ed noted, it's amazing that Gehrig was able to play his final 1938 season while in the early throes of ALS, the disease that would take his life less than three years later.
Links to the interview and the book are below.
