The Iron Horse in 1936: 155 games of quiet ruin. A .354 average, 49 home runs, 152 runs batted in, and 167 runs scored—a man punching the clock and wrecking the league before it punched back. He walked 130 times, struck 205 hits, and took the American League's MVP for the trouble. No theatrics, no fuss. Just the same steady hand, every day, turning the season into a private argument with the record book—one he kept winning.
