LOU HOLDS MORE RECORDS than any other man in the game today. Here are a few for any four-game World Series: most runs batted in (9); most home-runs (4); most bases on balls (6). He has scored 100 or more runs for 11 consecutive seasons and batted in 100 or more.

Another time, he was knocked out by a “bean ball,” yet next day walloped 3 triples in 5 innings. Gehrig's “‘Iron-Man” record is proof of his splendid physical condition.
