Did You Know?
| Trivia | This was filmed in January, 1938. A team of doctors viewed this film in 2006 to see if there is any visible evidence of the onset of Gehrig's ALS. They concluded that they could see no effect. Gehrig put up good, though diminished, numbers in the 1938 season that followed, and had visible muscle loss by the beginning of training in 1939. He died 3 1/2 years after his performance here. See more » |
| Goofs | The final scene begins with a close-up of Lou Gehrig in slippers putting his feet up on the porch. In the next shot (and the rest of the scene), he is wearing boots. See more » |

| Quotes |
First Reporter:
I'll bet you a new suit of clothes you'll be in Florida for spring practice. Second Reporter: Aw, just wait till the old season starts. You'll miss the crowds and the cheering and the excitement. Lou Gehrig: That's just what I want to get away from. I've had all of that. I'm going to wallow in peace and quiet for the rest of my life. I'm going to hang up my spikes for a swell old pair of carpet slippers. See more » |
