Myke Furhman, a genous of all things sports!

An avid Red Sox fan, Furhman grew up in Connecticut right in the middle of the Yankee rivalry, and was one of the few Sox fans in the area. Same with the Patriots, he was a lone fan as everyone else was wearing Giants blue or Jets green.

Myke now lives in New York City, waving the banner of Red Sox nation!

Hey Myke,

Lou Gehrig has somehow been forgotten amongst the game’s immortals, even though he was possibly even more of a reason for the success of Ruth’s 1927 Yankees. Read about the quiet, forgotten leader of “Murderer’s Row,” Henry Lou Gehrig.

Thanks in advance!
