Heart of a Hero: Remembering Lou Gehrig 

It's about time baseball sets aside a day to honor the great Lou Gehrig

Lou Gerhig was a class act! They don't make them like him anymore!

Played almost 100 years ago but he is my favorite player of all time.

He was one of the greatest. Not just in baseball. He was a great human being. RIP Lou Gehrig.

Lou Gehrig was a great baseball player, and an even greater man.

His speech and Valvano speech will never be forgotten

One of the best/R.I.P. Lou.

He would have been the greatest of all time the man was literally made of iron and to do it in front of everyone what a man

My Dad passed from Lou Gehrig’s disease RIP to both 🙏🏻

I remember my grandfather told me stories about Lou Gehrig and the other great baseball players that he watched during those years. Thoughn he would teasingly call the baseball players of my generation "a bunch of stiffs," I think he was trying to make his point that the players of his generation played for the love of the game. I believe Lou Gehrig's story isn't limited to how impressive he was in baseball, but also how his appreciation for the simplicities in life inspired others--the latter definitely inspires me on my dark days. Rest in peace, Lou Gehrig; you are missed and fondly remembered.

His heart never gave up on him

My favorite sports Legend ever that I didnt witness play. He is some how underrated and if his career didn't sadly get cut short he would have had a very realistic shot at being the all time RBI and runs leader and 3,000 plus hits and defiantely the 500 home run club. For his whole career hit .336 with RISP, .317 with two outs and RISP and. 349 in late and close games and .361 in the WS. Rest in peace Lou Gehrig. I commented this on another video today but will paste it hear as well because more people need to realize the force this man was because most people know he is an all time great but don't really actually know how good Lou was.

R.I.P. Lou Gehrig.. I never met you but your words still echoes loud today. God Bless You...

Greatest First Baseman of All-Time!

Great idea to have a commemerative Day in his honor each year. It's fitting.

Gerhig and Robinson are two of greatest men of character to have ever played the game.

Lou Gehrig is my all time favorite baseball player even though he died many years before I was born. He was more than one of the greatest players in the history, he was also a loving son, husband, and a wonderful role model to so many kids AND when asked by a sports writer in the late 1930s lf blacks should be allowed to play in the major leagues answered "Yes of course, if they are good enough , then they should be allowed to play. Why not?" (Something a lot of people dont know about him) he was humble and grateful and moral person with one major vice, he smoked alot and I can tell you there is a strong correlation between ALS and smoking. One more big reason not to smoke,

I learned about Lou Gehrig after following Cal Ripken Jr. What a Hero.

Heard about Lou Gehrig day on the mlb radio station... God bless him I hope his family is well

RIP Lou Gehrig and RIP Pete Frates

Best first baseman to play the game

Before I knew about baseball his name was synonymous with a disease to me. These days I forget that's what happened to him, he's just a baseball legend

I watched this video to learn about Lou Gehrig. After watching, my heart goes out to anyone suffering from ALS. Your son's words are amazing!! I will share them with the team I coach. Thank you for sharing.

Im reading Ryan Holiday's Discipline is Destiny. His self discipline is exceptional.

Rip legend Lou Gehrig.

Beautiful tributes.

当時は背番号が小さいね。 In those days, back numbers were small.　2023.01.23 19:11

My grandfather passed away from als.

Great 👍

The person who has a thumbs down on this video has no soul. What a shame...

🙏🏾🙏🏾

I feel sad for Lou Gehrig. :( He was just like Babe Ruth

He played a full season in 1938 but his numbers were starting to decline he took himself out of the lineup 9 games into the 1939 season

That have the feels. Pujols and Gehrig are top first baseman for my money as o can’t decide

👍🏼👍🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼⚾️⚾️

This video is so touching! 货出去，人进來，高雄发大财喔💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰！

1:58 Gehrig bay flip? 👀👀

Sorry that was Mr Lou Gehrig

It’s tragic how Lou Gehrig died and how a disease was named after him.

How can you love a man you never met?

Sorry thats Best Wishes not Beat Wishes. Apologies it Came out Wrong

Frog

You ever think what a coincidence it is that Lou gehrig died of Lou Gehrig’s disease?

Still the greatest first baseman ever. Just think how long his streak would have extended if he hadn't gotten the illness that later bore his name. Ripken would have been second. Amazing to contemplate.
