Pride of the Yankees is one of my favorite movies of ALL TIME definitely recommend
Underrated Legend
I think because people just look at stat overall. Had he not had als, he would've had abetter '38, and probably 3 more top seasons afterwords. At least. N then a couple more middling seasons before hanging it up. He would've had all time numbers, and probably be the all time rbi leader.
Good looking guy. Amazing athlete. Outstanding human being.
My favorite player ever .....an amazing amazing man and player....
Master baseball ⚾️ Hitter
Lou Gehrig's was the the best ever
Such a great role model.
Happy Birthday Lou. They do not make them like that anymore.
Just a few tidbits... The second half of Gehrig's 1938 season was better than the first half, suggesting the disease was not yet affecting him. Also, based on letters from Gehrig's wife to doctors, and medical protocol at the time, it is very possible that Gehrig did not know he was dying when he gave his famous speech. He almost assuredly knew his playing days were over, but may well have been unaware that he had a terminal condition.
Yeah, for the sake of his own morale he was kept in the dark concerning his condition.
Lou would certainly have noticed the symptoms before the first anniversary of the hit to the head with the baseball pitched to him on April 23, 1933. There would have been a progression of symptoms, some of which would have been there every day after he first noticed them. He had to be aware something was wrong, but only if he guessed the symptoms were neurological, would he have been on the right track.

You're wrong.
You don't know jackshit.
I believe this, but can you provide a source as well
@@steelersrock4392 The MLB website talks of an ongoing letter correspondence between Gehrig and his doctor, O'Leary. O'Leary always provides hope though he knew the reality.
The Pride of the Yankees
Awesome video! Only thing, his "Luckiest Man Alive" speech & retirement was July 4th, not June 4th.
He made his teammates better. He perservered, he overcame and was generous. What more could be asked?
Glad I watched this!
Gehrig Starts For Me At First.
Such amazing baseball player they don’t make them like him
Lou Gehrig's farewell speech was not particularly long, but it was considerably longer than the filmed snippets of the speech that we typically see in televised stories of his life. Its hard to understand why, apparently, an audio of the full speech does not exist since it is likely that all the New York sports media must have been at the game and ceremony.
You can find it it’s has babe Ruth’s speech too sorry I don’t have a link but I know I saw it on TH-cam
Lou's speech was entirely off the cuff. He had to be persuaded to even talk at all. It caught everyone by surprise.
He played with Babe Ruth during Ruth's last years and with Joe DiMaggio during DiMaggio's early years.
Joe was there for Lou's 2130th consecutive game. And he was there for Cal Ripken's 2131st.
We miss you buddy!!!😂❤
Immediately upon seeing Gehrig, the doctor knew exactly what was wrong with him. The doctor’s mother had died from the same disease.
Consider that Gehrig rode the bench for two years before he got to play regularly and played until he just couldn’t anymore. His career numbers would have been greater under different circumstances.
Cool Stuff.
Cool player
.. Gehrig was one of only six that earned a career slugging percentage of .600 or higher.
Looks similar to a Baldwin
Who else went here from Discipline is Destiny?
Am here 😂
Died 80 years ago this June (2).
gehrig was a great ball player but "the streak" is the most overrated record in baseball.
