A quick conversation with Alabama graduate-transfer WR Gehrig Dieter, who probably should be grateful his baseball-loving dad wasn't a Boof Bonser fan
That's a unique first name. Anything behind that?
"My dad's a huge Yankees, so Lou Gehrig, obviously one of the best Yankees of all time. He just loved the name and that's who I'm named after. My older brother's not a Yankee name but (is named) Nolan, after Nolan Ryan; and then my younger brother's Thurman after (former Yankees catcher) Thurman Munson. ... We all grew up baseball fans, and obviously grew up football fans but baseball was probably our first love.
