LOU GEHRIG PART 3 A HERO DEPARTS
Lou Gehrig , New York Yankee first baseman, in 17 seasons, had a lifetime slugging percentage of .632, a record 23 grand slam home runs and 4 home runs in one game. With an amazing lifetime batting average of .340 and his 493 lifetime home runs and 4 home runs in one game, he never reached the $80,000 annual salary of Babe Ruth.
Gehrig's top salary was $39,000 per season and he never negotiated, it is said, and never had an agent. Lou simply accepted what was offered and he was grateful for it.
Retirement is not easy
The recent retirement buzz about Packer football hero, Brett Favre, reminds me that retirement is not easy.
For some people retirement is well planned and is very fulfulling and for other people retirement is not well planned and leaves a void in their life.
Lets Go To The Movies
This is my personal list of the movie films that I recommend for both entertainment and content value.
1. Casablanca. An insight into foreign policy during the World War II era.
BREWER FEVER
I have been a fan of the Milwaukee Brewers since they were a AAA team playing at Borchert Field at 8th and Chambers. I remember one game when then owner Bill Veek was greeting the fans at their seats and he came over and sat next to me and we chatted about the Brewers. It was a thrill and to think the owner asked me for my opinions. I was only 8.
The American Association Brewers had their icons such as Tedd Gullic, Charley Grimm, Ken Keltner, Joe Just, Hal Peck, Heinz Becker, Casey Stengel, Jackie Price(and his pet snake) and many others.
BREWER FEVER AND BEING THERE
Today, Thursday, I went to the game with my Chicago friends who were delighted with their cubbies. And well they should be because the outcome was a total Cub victory in 4 games.
The Cubs have a very good team and and excellent manager who gets the most out of his players and relies on conventional baseball strategy to win.
