his childhood was alright he grew up in a suburb in a town house with his mother and father in SE NYC, he had no siblings (living) they all died young Lou was the youngest child that the Gehrig's had. He was chubby but that changed in highschool. He played Baseball between the time of school and his job, Lou played with other boys in vacant lots and in the streets, there was no little league so teams from different neighborhoods played each other and they all chipped in to buy a game ball the winning team would get the ball and that's most of his child hood

When a professional athelete uses a uniform with a number used by someone previously, there is a belief that s/he must be proven worthy of doing so; by measuring up to the performance of the previous user of that number. The retiring of any number by any team is a way of stating that nobody else would ever be equal to the person's career.
