It was
seventy-five years ago on July 4, 1939, that after retiring from baseball, Lou
Gehrig returned to the New York Yankees for Lou Gehrig Day. In his famous
farewell speech he said, “Today I consider myself the luckiest man on the face
of the earth.” Jonathan Eig’s bestselling
biography “Luckiest Man: The Life and Death of Lou Gehrig” tells us about one
of the greatest players of all time, as we’ve never seen him before. Our
collection also includes the classic 1943 movie “Pride of the Yankees,”
starring Gary Cooper and Babe Ruth, a moving true story which was nominated for
eleven Academy Awards.
