Le gare non sono mai state una passeggiata per me, ma quella lotta all’ultimo respiro io la cercavo. Se capivo di dover entrare in acqua e combattere alla morte, l’adrenalina mi scorreva ed ero felice. La condizione ideale per gareggiare era sentirmi un animale braccato. La sera prima di una gara quasi non mangiavo. Era la tensione, certo, ma anche un modo di prepararsi all’assalto, come il lupo che prima di andare a caccia per affrontare la lotta digiuna, dimagrisce. La fame o l’inappetenza non erano solo forme nervose, ma manifestazioni di un atavico istinto al combattimento.

"I consider myself the luckiest man on the face of the Earth". On July 4, 1939, baseball great Lou Gehrig delivered what has been called "baseball's Gettysburg Address" at Yankee Stadium and gave a speech that included the phrase that would become legendary.
