Talk:Lou Gehrig

From BR Bullpen

I'm not sure that the severity of Gehrig's illness was commonly known at the time of his retirement, so it may not be correct to say that people knew he was dying at the time of his farewell speech. --Roger 19:34, 10 Mar 2006 (EST)

Upon further reading it looks like Eleanor knew Lou was dying but Lou was distinctly unaware except that he had a type of paralysis. I'll change it once I figure out how I can reword it. --Scott 23:29, 10 Mar 2006 (EST)
