Please feel free to comment your thoughts & share this video with your friends & family. I would truly appreciate it!
Thank you all!
Awesome job Christian!! Lou Gehrig was a true legend in baseball and will be forever remembered. You have a very special talent for capturing all the details and explaining his life story. I really enjoyed listening and watching this video……
Thank you I appreciate it. Glad you enjoyed!
Another home run for you Christian! Al and I watched it together this evening. Your passion for baseball shines thru your documentaries. Looking forward to your next Documentary. 🏆🏆🏆
Thanks Uncle Al I appreciate it. Glad you Enjoyed! He’s honestly One of my favorite players.
Christian fantastic documentary showcasing a baseball legend, Lou Gehrig. Job well done.
Tradjic story you have to wonder how long the consecutive game streak would have gone had he not suffered the illness at all. Streak probably wouldve been stopped by WWII at some point. "Pride of the Yankees" is one movie I think all generations of people who like baseball and good stories should and would enjoy seeing.
100% agree with you man!
I still can't believe how great he was. He not only was able to hit for power, he can hit for average too.
Great Job on this documentary! Really enjoyed watching!😊
Thanks Aunt Denise I appreciate it you tuning in!
If PLAYERS only would follow in THIS MANS' FOOTSTEPS.
SPORTS WOULD BE FUN TOO WATCH AGAIN.
I was too young to appreciate what he did until I got older and really into baseball. His "Luckiest Man" speech touches the heart . And I finally saw his movie " Rawhide, it was fun to watch. 👍
I’ve never seen that movie that is definitely on my bucket list!
@MLBCHATTERBOX It's about an hour or so long, and he's pretty good and he's funny. Definitely a must see for his fans.👍
I liked the movie 'Pride of the Yankees." I wonder how true it was.
They skipped Lou's four home run game!
It also truncated and altered Gehrig's famous final speech.
Awesome! Man that 1928 world series numbers are off the chart. That's T.C.B. ⚡
Thank you, Christian! This was a WONDERFUL documentary of one of my FAVORITE baseball players of all time! Thanks also for including clips from one of my FAVORITE movies, "Pride of the Yankees." And thanks especially for your encouraging words at the end! 👏
Hey thank you for leaving the nice comment. I’m glad you enjoyed it👍🏼
Great job Christian. I'm glad you got the Wally Pipp story right, most people believe he was taken out of the lineup due to a headache !
Thank you I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Wonderful video.
Thank you so much!
Great documentary Christian!! Very informative and well done. Love the videos too!! Another one knocked out of the park!!
Thank you I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Good documentary Christian!!
All around great job and story of the life of Lou Gehrig! Can’t wait for the next one…
Thank you I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Great story. Very interesting. WAY TO GO!
Thank you I appreciate it!
1927 Yankees went 1-2-3 in home runs... Ruth, Gehrig & Lazzeri. And the Yanks' 3-6 hitters each drove in 100 runs. That team was ridiculous.
Great job! Learned a lot!
Thank you I appreciate it!
In 1937, Lou had his worst post season after is typical Iron man season. In 1938, Lou Gehrig made a film " Rawhide" for Hollywood and then played the entire 1938 season putting up a BA of 295, with 29 Home Runs and 114 RBIs that would be excellent for most players but was well below Lou's normal production. With hindsight professionals now conclude that he made the film and played the 1938 season with advancing ALS . An almost impossible feat for a normal man. Lou was not a normal man. He was the Iron Horse.
In 1939 his ALS advanced to the point where he could only hit 147 with on run batted in through the month of April. No home runs. He then benched himself in Detroit where he was hitless and error prone. When the team played the next series in Chicago and at the insistence of his wife who noticed his deterioration at home in the performance of daily activities he went to the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota from Chicago where the diagnosis of ALS was made and he was given a prognosis of three years to live. He retired from baseball and was honored on July 4th, 1939 at Yankee Stadium. He died on Jan 2, 1941 as his disease in its final stages made it impossible for him to breath, swallow, defecate, eat or drink or do anything at all. He was only 37 years old. A tragic end to this great man. There is still no cure for ALS and doctors have NO IDEA what causes it.
Not only a player of consistency, but more importantly a greater man. He is and always will be one of my all time favorite baseball player. Just a guess, but if he wasn't forced to retire due to his progressive disease I believe he could have played a few more seasons putting up the consistent numbers that he was known for. He is never forgotten, but always remembered.....
Good Job ! Your on your way to making your dream come true
Thank you I appreciate it. Glad you enjoyed!
Wow he’s great
184 RBI still American League Single season record .
Indeed it is! He’s very underrated in his own right
Shame that it happened to such a good guy. Glad an equally good guy broke his streak, Cal Ripken. Both class acts.
Yep, one of the very toughest, but Cal Ripken was arguably as tough.
"Columbia Lou" and "The Iron Horse" Babe Ruth called Lou, "The Dutchman"......Unfortunately, the movie "The Pride of the Yankees" (1942), was extremely corny!
Sure Lou Gehrig was lucky. But have you ever heard something so unlucky as a guy named Lou Gehrig dying from loogerik’s disease?
Still the greatest first baseman of all time.
I have no argument with that statement!
