Pride of the Yankees, Lou Gehrig
Lou Gehrig was as good at being a genuinely nice guy as he was at playing fabulous baseball. Pride of the Yankees is a Hollywood biopic that tells the story of an all-time great before the time of prima donna stars and multi-million dollar contracts. Too good to be true? Fact is stranger than fiction.
