I've been reading "Cobb Would Have Caught It" and there's an interview in there from Doc Cramer given in 1986.
He said, "Nobody liked Gehrig, not even his own players. I know that to be a fact. Tony Lazzeri, he couldn't stand to be near him. He was too cheap, that's what it was. And he was self-centered. I always got along with him. He'd have a beer and drink with you, if you bought it. The only guy that got along with him was Bill Dickey. They roomed together.
