The season starts with a number that sounds like a misprint: 184 runs batted in. Lou Gehrig drove them home all summer of 1931, 46 of them on his own swing, and crossed the plate himself 163 times. A first baseman's hands, a horse's constitution. The Yankees rode him hard and he never asked for the whip. The three frames ahead keep the 184, the 46, and the 163.
