Hot and Dead - Lou Gehrig

Hubba Hubba!! Those are some hot meaty thighs!

No basket, no basket, no basket -- swing batter!

What did he die of?

Plus he had a sweet face. He als was a shameless momma’s boy.

[quote] What did he die of?

Strangely, he died of a disease that he was named after.

Bugger me gently.

R4 You aren't kidding. He wouldn't take a shit without her permission. I read his wife's memoir. He was an asshole.

Lou Gehrig was also among the most talented athlete to ever play first base. And he a bit shy and private but was an all around good guy. It's still impactful and tragic that such a strong athlete would die from ALS at a young age of 37.

Oh, [italic]dear.[/italic]

R7 Lou? How was he an asshole? Everything I’ve ever read about him states the opposite. What can you tell us? Without having to go buy the book?

He looks so healthy!

Catnip for cankle fetishists

R10 he probably only nice to the right people.

I despise people like who treat their family members like shit, but others, who can advance their careers, they are kind to…

He's hot, in ways I didn't realize. His daughter directed Barbie, right?

Hubba, hubba!

The man who took his title, Cal Ripken Jr., had an ass and thighs to die for. Is that a pre-requisite for being Iron Man?

R13 sorry I should have proofed my damn post. It was a hot mess.

Cal Ripkin is a true asshole.

Lou Gehrig did not treat his family "like shit."

By all accounts, he was a genuinely nice man.

And...Woof! Those legs!!!

He was also for integrating baseball and loved playing exhibition games with the Negro Leagues. Never ever heard anything bad about him.

[quote]Cal Ripkin is a true asshole.

Besides some people saying he was selfish for refusing to sit out a game (which kept his streak alive) and for sometimes traveling on separate buses and staying in different hotels than his teammates, I haven't heard any truly asshole-ish stories about him. What have you heard?

Doesn't appear to have Gary Cooper's endowment.

Eleanor Gehrig was even dumber than her husband, but unlike her husband, loved money and fame so she treated his controlling, abusive behavior as a joke. He told her what to say and how to say it. A few days after they were married and she didn't want to go out after dinner he jumped up, said something horrible and disappeared for days. Hahaha. She never put forth an opinion again, reserving her anger for her tyrannical cunt of a mother-in-law while Lou displaced his aggression and hostility onto Eleanor. Even fawning articles would mention how Gehrig was 'sensitive' which meant if you lived with him or tried to be his friend he would cut you dead if you offended his razor-thin skin.

Nobody criticized him because he didn't HAVE any friends. But yeah, he was a great player and maybe if he hadn't died at 37 he would have grown a personality.

Wow r23, what’s the name of the book?

[quote]Strangely, he died of a disease that he was named after.

Wow, what are the odds???

He was the luckiest, luckiest, man, man, on, on, the, the face, face, of, of the, the earth, earth.

Sounds like he was repressed or something.

[quote]He was an asshole.

Family Guy had his number. Not a nice man.

I’d bet good money R23 is a woman and pulled all of that out of her asshole.

“he weighed almost 14 pounds (6.4 kg) at birth“ - Wikipedia

that's a side of 100% pure prime beef

R24 'Lou Gehrig and I' (oh, dear). I picked up the copy from some thrift pile because I love baseball and was a fan of the guy, and because my sister died from Lou Gehrig's disease (ALS). On the upside it made me appreciate Babe Ruth more.

The real question: was he hung? Cut/uncut?

*My Luke and I*

From the looks of him, in that second picture he could have leaned on his dick to stand as much as that club.

He played baseball for Columbia. In the old days, the baseball diamond was in the middle of campus.

Very interesting, R37. Great pic.

MY LUKE AND I is way too pricey on Amazon.

The photo on left evokes a more masculinish Lady Bird Johnson to me.

Was he a stranger to the man sex?

Yes r41, he and Babe Ruth were having a steamy affair for years.

Although teammates, he & the Babe were not close.

Legend has it that Babe only knew one teammates name. It was Lou because Lou was the only player that was on his level.

Sexy with his clothes on too…

Hot!!!!

He's the textbook definition of a "Big Lug."

He's very handsome.

[quote]loved playing exhibition games with the Negro Leagues.

In the locker room.

He was quite the beefy muscular guy for his era.

Way hotter than DiMaggio.

Eh. He reminds me of a T-Rex.

And he went to Columbia.

Adorable. A big teddy bear of a man.

Those tree trunks are sexy as fuck. I'll bet he threw a mean fuck. I imagine he had a real meaty ass, too.

R26 That was a great speech he gave.

R55 they nicknamed him “Biscuit Pants” because of his meaty posterior.

Poor guy.

Imagine being named after one of the worst diseases ever.

And then you get it yourself! What are the odds!?

Horrible.

Bump.

Found this on Reddit…are many German men blessed with such tree trunks?

What are the odds of dying of a disease with the same name as you? Twas kismet.

I wonder how they ever got him to pose as a caveman.

R61, he did a screen test to take over the role of Tarzan. They said his thighs were too big.

[quote] They said his thighs were too big.

Which modern actors or players “suffer” from this characteristic?

The list is small R63. DL fave Brenton Thwaites is a contender.

Fit fat.

Oh R61

ODP

Ted Williams was dreamy too.

R18 tell us more about Ripken…

"Biscuit Pants"

The average age of posters on this thread is deceased.

His thighs are gross.

R5 I'm not blaming him or anything but I feel like I would have seen that one coming.

Another thread you took from me. Yet you attack me every chance you get. The irony.

My history book in elementary school (mid-2000s) made Lou Gehrig seem like he was from a much older time and place than he was in. He was born in 1903 and died in 1941. They made it sound like this was before the Titanic old. He's at least a 20th-century legend, not like he's Abraham Lincoln.

But what a daddy he was...whew.
