Bully Says: Comics Oughta Be Fun!: Today in Comics History, June 2, 1941: We remember Lou Gehrig

No jokes or snark, folks, just saluting one of baseball's greatest players on the anniversary of his death.

'Today, I consider myself the luckiest man on the face of the earth. I have been in ballparks for seventeen years and I have never received anything but kindness and encouragement from you fans. Look at these grand men. Which of you wouldn't consider it the highlight of his career just to associate with them for even one day? Sure I'm lucky.'
