Question: where did you get all the baseball clips? I have a project to do on Lou Gehrig Disease and i really want to include clips of him!

[diamondnynic]

Lou Gehrig // A classier man never walked a ball field // Hands down. In that area the babe doesn't hold a candle to him... Lou Gehrig... RIP !!!

[billfaklaris]

The greatest 1st Baseman of all time. Dignity and class. Staggering numbers in RBI s batting behind Ruth.

[NYYankeeVlog]

Gehrig, a true gentleman

[ImOfNope]

Fantastic video, up until you started playing that lousy rocky song.

[huskyjerk]

@ImOfNope Yes, the music was not reminiscent of the era. Too much rumba, or some such sound. Should have been more stately. A nice bit of Beethoven would have worked better. But rumba?  What is that stuff?

[macassans]

would you please send me the background music,it is awesome.

[TheExtremers]

my guess is the song from Rocky. Try and find the soundtrack for that movie it might be it

[slicktiger28]

Nicely done video on a true baseball giant. I am a lifelong Mets fan but this video, about one of baseball's all time greats, brought tears to my eyes. We'll never see the likes of Lou again.

[sternaparadisea]

congratulations from Italy...inspiring images and words...Lou Gehrig is one man I always admired!

[vampyreviperella]

#4 will never die. Lou Gehrig lives on as long as memory sustains him. My father, also a super-jock, machine of a man, was stricken by ALS, the cruellest disease there is. This brought tears to my eyes. What a great man Gehrig was. Simply a legend.

[MyTaiwan]

tears

[tom79978]

Lou Gehrig is the greatest player ever! I know i sound crazy but..... as long as believe in what i say my conviction will never die out. :)

[MrMorningside125]

Gehrig was great.

[TheMusicfreak66]

And he played without steroids unlike the Yankees of today. Clemens, Rodriguez, Pettitt, Giambi.

[jmadluck]

I just hope he is in heaven with Jesus!! So ill hopefully see him soon! God Bless!

[tom79978]

fantastic video lou gehrig is the pride of the yankees not freakin babe ruth or joe dimaggio. Gehrig is the BEST!!!!!!

[tomada36]

Excellent video! Kudos to the person who put this to the 'Rocky' theme. Fantastic!

[jorgerojas321]

Lou Gehrig

[msymsed]

He was every bit as good as the Babe. He just wasn't a grandstander. Babe was the showman and there is nothing wrong with that but I hate that Lou questioned his abilities because of it. Lou was simply amazing.

[TarlaTorres6012]

True. But I remember watching a vid, where Lou was overheard saying he idolized Babe and thought he was a God, but I can see there was a bit of rivarly between the two. Their both still the greatest yankees of all though

[germino777]

Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig are the best 2 baseball players who ever lived

hands down

[petrosian904]

gehrig >>>> williams

ruth and gehrig are 1 and 2 hands down, and there is a huge gap to whoever is third.

...and also I wouldnt put 1 and 2 in any order...

[bknellinger]

Teddy Ballgame best hitter to ever play the game. easy

[banenwn]

They were the 2 best of there generation but not the best ever.Pitching is way better today so its hard to compare.There were quite a few since then that were better all around players then ruth and gehrig.Personally i felt in ruths era that ty cobb was the best but thats just me.

[THEo1SToEPISODE]

legend

[pointedrod73]

no steroid no batting helmets just a pure strong baseball player in the dead ball era which was harder to hit homeruns. remember voted with most votes for team of the century.

[michaeljohnsfan9601]

poor man. he was the nicest guy ever. why did he have to die so early

[rw5791]

looked like a contact hitter with power.Very advanced swing for the era he played in.

[coldfacedkiller17]

the stadium then looked bigger than today.....

[extremisation]

the best baseball players where german :P

[sigu655]

That's cuz they didn't allow Black or Latino players to play in the Majors back then. Where are the Germans now? Lousey Krauts!

[sexychrisb]

Not being given a chance because blacks and domincans work for less and all they do is play baseball. It isn't racist if it's true! Not that you would have any right to cry " racist " with the " lousy krauts " remark. Classy bro, classy.

[Rukidding57]

He was on Steroids!

[residentflea]

Lou is what baseball was all about. and all that was right about the game.

Not like the modern game that has; sellfish, money hungry cheaters.

And, Cal who---nobody will remember him...

[kittcass22]

tell the whole speech please

[smatt2525]

sad

[halmahouse]

A true American Hero..played the game for the "games' sake not money. Played the hand delt him and did not complain. RIP Lou!

[ladiesman22]

#4. Simply the best

[notphilivey]

Gold standard of a0 retirement valedectory address. Never to be equalled. Poignent. unmatched drama.

[l11432]

A real American!

[yafra1992]

His orgins are German

[l11432]

This is the melting pot. 1 Reason it's so great!

[lhwood777]

not 100%

[sigu655]

NO! He was 100% German American 1st Generation.

[lhwood777]

he also wasnt ted williams

[SUAELI39]

No he wasn't. He's better than Ted Williams,the Championship rings speak for themselves.

[lhwood777]

no becuase baseball is a team sport.. but individualy ted williams is the best ever

[SUAELI39]

True! However, i recall way back Mr.Williams puting a list of the greatest hitters of All-Time,and he had Babe Ruth at #1 and Lou Gehrig at #2. Who better than Ted Williams to make such a list!!!!

[lhwood777]

yea he always used to ask his friends if he was as good as babe.. even ben hogan got his swing from williams

[sexychrisb]

Thankfully.

[notphilivey]

Thay was very hokey...but I liked it.

[stillsparkling]

This is a bueatiful tribute. Lou was a true legend and hero.

[inwoodliver]

neato!

[laxman1600]

great video great tribute to a great man

[thomasdm2]

i like the use of the rocky music

[notphilivey]

You ll notice that Gehrig initially walked away from the mike. Then changing his mind gave us the farewell for the ages. Read Shirley Povich account 4 -4 -39 Washington Post if for context. Article brilliant.

[notphilivey]

I like it. Good footage. Rocky's cool.

[ufund]

Great, great job. In a sport filled with nicknames none fit a player more than the one for Gehrig, "The Iron Horse". Perfect video for perhaps THE perfect player.

[wmarino2]

WOW that was awesome. OUTSTANDING video, thanks for sharing.
