By far the greatest 1st baseman in history- his numbers if he had not lost his life at an early age would have surpassed everyone in RBIs and he would have nearly 600 homers..He was clutch--he was class...He was a family man who loved his parents and wife. I cry each time I see this clip and the movie (gary cooper)...and Im 52 years old...My favorite player of all time is mickey mantle but Lou Gehrig....was the greatest man who ever played baseball and maybe its greatest player.

Words can't describe the greatness of this man, as a ball player, and as a human being, but I'm going to try my best.

The luckiest man in the world is not you, Lou. It is each and every one of those fans and players who have witness you play the game of baseball, and witness you as a person. When has anyone seen such a majestic, humble, durable sportsman in all the lands? You are the epitome of what a great ballplayer is, and also what a great man is supposed to be.

Thank you Lou.Rest in peace

This is when baseball was real. No steroids, Gehrig was a naturally strong man, a great man and great player

Wow! I've been reading his biography and this footage is incredible. He is a fascinating man, with a low profile. I think he was the greatest first baseman who ever played, especially as a hitter.

i have to say i am a big red sox fan, but i appreciate the game of baseball and its players. Especially the old time yankees seeing as my grandfather knew babe ruth. Thats why i have to say this is one of the best tributes to my favorite baseball player of all time. Whoever did this... it is perfect. R.I.P. Lou Gehrig, a red sox fans fave player of all time.
