What Major League Baseball player once said, "Today, I consider myself the luckiest man on the face of the earth."

A.) Jackie Robinson
B.) Joe DiMaggio
C.) Lou Gehrig
D.) Babe Ruth

A.) Jackie Robinson - never heard of him

If I were you, I'd probably for Joe DiMaggio. It seems the most likely ans... <thirty seconds are up>

hmm that's who i was thinking it wasn't

it is either c or d since Ruth though drunk half the time remained quite modest or so I have heard
Also Gehrig was a nice guy
I don't know I hate baseball

the fact he is dead doesn't mean he never thought he as lucky

c. gehrig

if i lose then i don't want to be quiz guy
