As Jack Sher has stated: "Lou had the one elusive thing he had always wanted most--the wholehearted love of baseball fans and people everywhere in the world." In his typically overheated fashion, Paul Gallico captured the sentiment and poignancy of Lou's farewell when 62,000 fans assembled to pay tribute to the dying athlete: "On July 4, 1939, there took place the most tragic and touching scenes ever enacted on a baseball diamond--the funeral services for Henry Louis Gehrig. Lou Gehrig attended them in person."
