"The Luckiest Man on the Face of the Earth", Lou Gehrig

[kurtispilbin45675]

thats a true yankee for u right there

[yemiakinwole1]

His words are so touching and encouraging! If Lou Gehrig could refer to himself as the luckiest man in the world, then we should all be resilient in the face of any adversity. This is a man who has come, has seen, and has conquered. He will be missed forever!

Gehrig stood with his hands on his buttocks to keep the spasms to a minimum. His disease had progressed to the point of his muscles weakening, twitching involuntarily. I see the same pride when I see Michael J. Fox in interviews. Fighting their disease all the way. It's inspirational to watch this.

I get chills watching this

[bucknut248]

I have this pose as an action figure... I cannot stand the yankees, but I had to get it.... I love the pre-steinbrunner yankees

[robandrene]

Why did you cut almost all of the speech out?

[The1mybuddy1]

Lou Gherig is " the definition of what an American Idol should be". Rest in piece Mr. Gherig. That was s different time back then, need alot more of those kind of role models now. Pure gentlemen and sportsman.

I'm a Red Sox fan, and this is till one of Baseball's greatest, yet saddest moments.

[drewfuss2121]

lucky enough to have such a disorder and still command absolute attention at the plate - lou gehrig comes from a line of people who have wooden ships and iron men - not the other way at all.. . RIP Lou -drew

one of the greatest public addresses ever delivered. Rest in Peace Henry Louis Gehrig.

[ErikS1975FreeState]

I don't know if there is more of an Optimist then Lou Gehrig. Most people I don't think would be able to put his Condition in the Perspective that he was able to.

[Hunkola]

I've seen this speech about 500 times........and I STILL choke back tears when I hear it........such grace & eloquence in the face of adversity and despair.........Lou Gehrig was one of the greatest humans in all of history !!!

[bootskit]

i hate when people say this but that was epic

[rifledude28]

Lou Gehrig was the classiest player on the face of the earth
