Revealing mistake: The ball Lou Gehrig hits that smashes a window doesn't come off his bat. It comes from behind him.
The Pride of the Yankees (1942)
1 revealing mistake
Directed by: Sam Wood
Starring: Gary Cooper, Walter Brennan, Teresa Wright, Babe Ruth
Other mistake: The kid that plays young Lou Gehrig later reappears when Ma finds out that Gehrig signed with the Yankees.
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.
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.
