Directed by: Sam Wood
Starring: Gary Cooper, Walter Brennan, Teresa Wright, Babe Ruth
Lou Gehrig: People have to live their own lives. Nobody can live it for you. Nobody could have made a baseball player out of Uncle Otto, and nobody can make anything but a baseball player out of me.
Eleanor Gehrig: Lou Gehrig, I could learn to like you.
Lou Gehrig: All the arguing in the world can't change the decision of the umpire.
Lou Gehrig: Is it three strikes, Doc?
Clinic doctor: You want it straight?
Lou Gehrig: Sure, straight.
Clinic doctor: It's three strikes.
Other mistake: The kid that plays young Lou Gehrig later reappears when Ma finds out that Gehrig signed with the Yankees.
Trivia: At the end of the film Lou is seen walking off the field into the dugout. In truth after the speech, Lou had to be helped into the dugout and left the ballpark in a wheelchair.
