Mantle, Mays, Aaron

...and they only made an averaged of 46 years old when they died!

Lou = 37
Hack = 48
Babe = 53

Was gonna say played hard worked hard...but Gehrig didn't exactly play hard (well, I mean off the diamond)

Thx FrankieT, good read on Ruth/Gehrig. I'm putting the Hack book in my cart now!

And the Hack Wilson book gave me a glimpse of a player that I hadn't thought about ever before except for the RBI record.

Thank you, dear Frankie, you are the best.
