The definitive account of the life and tragic death of baseball legend Lou Gehrig.

Lou Gehrig was a baseball legend--the Iron Horse, the stoic New York Yankee who was the greatest first baseman in history, a man whose consecutive-games streak was ended by a horrible disease that now bears his name. But as this definitive new biography makes clear, Gehrig's life was more complicated--and, perhaps, even more heroic--than anyone really knew.

Drawing on new interviews and more than two hundred pages of previously unpublished letters to and from Gehrig, Luckiest Man gives us an intimate portrait of the man who became an American hero: his life as a shy and awkward youth growing up in New York City, his unlikely friendship with Babe Ruth (a friendship that allegedly ended over rumors that Ruth had had an affair with Gehrig's wife), and his stellar career with the Yankees, where his consecutive-games streak stood for more than half a century. What was not previously known, however, is that symptoms of Gehrig's affliction began appearing in 1938, earlier than is commonly acknowledged. Later, aware that he was dying, Gehrig exhibited a perseverance that was truly inspiring; he lived the last two years of his short life with the same grace and dignity with which he gave his now-famous "luckiest man" speech.

Meticulously researched and elegantly written, Jonathan Eig's Luckiest Man shows us one of the greatest baseball players of all time as we've never seen him before.

Liquid Gold for Your Engine! 🛢️💥
Size: 1 Liter, Style: 1 Pack, Configuration: 5W-40
I didn’t think I’d get excited about motor oil, but here we are—Liqui Moly Molygen 5W-40 has officially made me feel like a car enthusiast. If you're serious about keeping your engine purring like a kitten, this stuff is like giving it a spa day with an energy drink chaser. First off, this isn’t just any old motor oil—it’s high-tech motor oil. We’re talking German engineering at its finest. The neon green color? Oh yeah, it looks as cool as it sounds, and trust me, when you see that green oil running through your engine, you know you're in for some serious performance. 🟢💯 Why do I love it? Engine protection: This oil is like a security blanket for your engine. It reduces friction like a champ, so parts glide smoothly, which means less wear and tear. Translation: your engine will thank you with better performance and a longer life. Fuel efficiency: You’re not just getting a smoother ride; you’re also saving some bucks at the pump. The way this oil cuts down on friction helps with fuel economy. It’s like the gift that keeps on giving. Cold start-ups? No problem. Whether you’re dealing with a chilly morning or scorching summer, this oil handles temperature extremes like a boss. It maintains its viscosity so your engine stays protected regardless of the weather. And did I mention the Molygen technology? It’s not just a fancy name—this oil has additives that coat your engine in a protective film, keeping it running smooth and reducing the risk of damage, even during high-stress drives. Final thought: If you're looking for an oil that’s as serious about your car’s performance as you are, the Liqui Moly Molygen 5W-40 is it. Your engine will run smoother, quieter, and stronger, and you’ll feel like you’ve just upgraded your car’s lifeblood. 🚗💨 Plus, that neon green color? Total conversation starter at the garage. 😉

Amazing Spark plugs
Smooth starting came after I fitted these Bosch 9614 double iridium plugs into my 2014 Honda Accord Sport, along with slightly better idling behavior. Longevity might come from those fine iridium tips; installing them felt straightforward enough. Yet here's the catch - the 9614 doesn't match what the factory actually specifies for the 2.4L engine in that year’s Accord. Most often, it's the 9694 or some other OEM-recommended plug you’d want instead

Great plug
Not sure about gas mileage, but these definitely improved the performance of my little 1.8 L Honda Civic, not sure if it’s because the old Plex were just old and weak or just because these are that much better. Acceleration is much better and engine or idle is much smoother
