Directed by: Sam Wood

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.
Revealing mistake: The ball Lou Gehrig hits that smashes a window doesn't come off his bat. It comes from behind him.
Trivia: Copper was right handed - all his scenes were filmed right handed and then reversed. The number "4" on the back of his uniform was put on backwards.
