Big Foxx fan and thought the same thing as well. Insulting to have him at 40.
At the risk of sounding blasphemous, he was every bit Gehrig’s contemporary other than the juggernaut team Lou played on and his tragic fate.
Otherwise, both had multiple MVPs, multiple rings, were Triple Crown winners, batting champs, and were otherwise legendary at the same position in the same league at the same point in time.
