@arivas713 im sorry buts thats a pathetic attitude, all things he saying now are still true, don't make excuses

where the U.S. doesn't have a monarchy (and thank goodness for that), the U.S. has baseball royalty like Lou Gehrig. As a Red Sox fan, it isn't even about teams. Baseball IS nostalgia.

My Dad, Lou Mc Hugh, worked the gun tub aft on the Armed Merchantman SS Lou Gehrig and sailed it from the ship yard to the Salerno landing in 1943. They used to call gunnery drill, afternoon "Batting Practice"...

though i may not like the yanks, but people are people. they all have the same feelings, they can be hurt. Lou Gehrig was truly inspirational to not only yankees fans, but ALL fans around the world

@mred0950 How can you say it was a great moment the man died
The best thing about sports mirrors the best things in life...perseverance, humility, class, and compassion. These are things that go beyond the stats and highlights. As great as he was, his friend Babe Ruth, took most of the spotlight. I think we all can relate to that on some level. Just keep chugging away. Be the best person you can be even if others don't appreciate it as much as you think they should. When the moment of truth comes, you'll be ready. That's what Lou Gehrig taught me.
