Clip opens with view of some of the 40,000+ fans who crowded Yankee Stadium in New York for "Lou Gehrig Appreciation Day" on July 4, 1939. The Yankees played two baseball games against the Washington Senators that day. Distant footage from left field shows Senators retiring Yankees and running off the field. Yankees run onto the field. In game two, Yankees second baseman Joe Gordon hits a long single that drives in three Yankee runs. Gehrig seen taking framed petition headlined "Don't Quit." Flag reading "1927 Champions" raised on flagpole. Members of that great Yankee team, including Babe Ruth (in white suit) and current Yankee coach Earle Combs (in Yankee uniform) walk up to home plate for the ceremony. Players, executives, dignitaries, photographers gathered at home plate. Gehrig listens to speech, head down. (The only sound bite in this clip is heard here as the announcer says: "In a case like yours, all league and glove lines are obliterated..." ) Next, in footage from game two, Yankees get hits off Washington pitcher Alex Carrasquel. Fans stand up to watch the action. Senators won the first game 3-2; Yankees took the second game, 11-1. (Note: Gehrig, the fabled "Iron Horse" of the Yankees, had to retire that year because of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis aka ALS, often called "Lou Gehrig's disease," which would kill him within two years.)
