The first half is in Gehrig's own words/voice, pulled from ghostwriter articles published at the time and some they only just discovered. The second half is more straight biography with a hefty emphasis on the ‘27 Murderer's Row club and how he fit in, contrasted with them.
You'd think that format would prove redundant but it never felt that way. Alan Gaff did a great job brining us a concise and sharp biographical account. He brings personalities to life, particularly Babe Ruth, spending enough time explaining Ruth to emphasize just how different Gehrig was.
The first half is narrated by Angelo Diloreto and Kyle Tait helms the second-half. People who know, realize that Kyle Tait is one of the best baseball audiobook narrators in the business.
