  12. Take a look at perfect 4/12 paper The writer made many comparisons between Lou Gehrig and Babe Ruth. Many people know how great of a baseball player Babe Ruth was. The author made many comparisons to show that Gehrig was almost just as good as Ruth. For example, the selection says that he batted in a total of 1990 runs, more than anyone but Ruth or Aaron. This is because he was sick, so he could’ve batted in more. This comparison shows that Gehrig was on the same level as Ruth and Aaron, and that he could have batted in more if he wasn’t ill. This allows us to infer that Gehrig was an amazing baseball player. The passage also states that he was in Ruth’s shadow. Everyone’s attention was on Ruth, so they didn’t realize how good of a player Gehrig really was. In an interview Gehrig even stated that since he was batting right behind Ruth, no matter how he hit all the crowd’s attention was still on Ruth. This comparison shows that Gehrig was really a good baseball player, but Ruth was taking all the glory. All in all, the author made many comparisons between Ruth and Gehrig. These helped us made many inferences. They showed us that Gehrig was a baseball player on Aaron’s and Ruth’s level. Though not many people paid attention to him, Gehrig’s game statistics prove that he was one of the great baseball players of his time.
