    Hey Scott,

    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!

    Thanks for the input on the Ovechkin article. I think part of the problem with writing an editorial like that is the Crosby backlash among the avid hockey fans. I understand it completely; the NHL jams 87 down everyone's throats constantly. He happens to deserve most of it, but I do think the league has to diversify its promotional efforts. Ovechkin is the perfect foil for Crosby and the NHL needs to take advantage of it.

    Personally, I'm just flabbergasted I got 600+ reads on that thing. Who knew?
