Sad that there’s not much audio for the rest of the speech

Lovely!

Murderers Row.

They went by my grandparents house near the Kimball movies theatre

he was knocked out by jock leslie from standish michigan. jock fought for the championship against willie pep at atwood stadium in flint michigan years later. jock lived in flint and you would see him at the golden gloves every year. his real name is leslie jock.

My father knew Lou Gehrig personally. He knew him at his greatest times and at his worst. He always had the most admiration and respect for this wonderful man. My dad told stories of sitting on the Yankee bench as a child while “my Louie” played ball. Said he was the kindest, most humble human being on earth. We all could learn from Lou’s life.

The Big Cat, Big Jawn

Will forward to my grandson whose birthday is tomorrow

Greatest football speech ever

56 year old here. The Cappaletti story of John, Joey and the family has never left my heart. John's acceptance speech is still gut wrenching, filled with emotion, humility, grace and thankfulness.

A great American.

Legend

A great player and a great man

Humanity at its finest! WE ARE!

The Celtics did play in the ABL

I was so envious of the Mets fans. They had great radio and t.v. announcers then my Yankee announcers. Except for the Scooter.

Such a BAMF!!!!

I know what he was feeling, I was diagnosed in April 2024 with ALS "Lou Gehrig's disease"

A real shame

THE MANAGER DARE JUST WAITING ONNN THE MANAGER FACT THE ONE THE ONLY THE MANAGER

THE MANAGER SOON TOOO KOME FACT THE ONE THE ONLY THE MANAGER

Thank you for preserving this great speech by John Cappelletti - a true hero!

What a great man

Deserved honour … amazing achievement and an amazing woman … girl power 🎉🎉🎉

Every young boy growing up and loving baseball, wanted to be like Lou. What a great example of an American hero

Thank you for uploading this, what an incredible athlete. I am surprised Al Oerter is not mentioned more, he was without equal.

What year was this interview recorded? Great to hear!

Yes.

Just I knew her after watch the movie (young woman and the sea) 1st woman and 1st world record of crossing English channel

To think thousands of ppl in attendance this day to witness this monumental moment not counting the millions at home listening 97 percent of them are all dead.. Life is really short enjoy out time here..

The CC/D were still on Concourse at this time (No C/D swap at this time nor the B/D system that we have now) The CC was using R44s/R46s so The Bronx got something special compared to the R68s/R68As, they were both the newest fleets in the Bronx at this time (1974). Also, those R22/R26/R33s look awful on the (4) compared to the R142A/R142s that we have now, mostly because of graffiti.

Very emotional and touching speech. I really need to watch Something for Joey.

Wow when I watched the movie was very interesting to watch very tough lady❤❤

Wholly sincere and absolutely heartbreaking. Perfect combination if you want a speech to live on in history. Lost my father to ALS. It’s a terrible disease.

Willie Pep está considerado el mejor pluma de todos los tiempos pero Sandy saddler lo noqueó 3 veces y perdió una por de decisión en 4 peleas que efectuaron.

I lived in Jackson Heights in the 70s as a kid. Whenever we would ride by Shea when a game was going on it was a moment of excitement. Now when we went. Best part was coming up through the tunnel and that green grass, wet brown dirt. Players warming up and the Organ of Jane Jarvis. The smell of stale beer on the ground. The vendors Beeeeah hereah. What a time!1

A legend 👏⭐ love from India

1970's Bronx was grimy. I remember because we had relatives up there and used to visit them all the time. They lived in a slightly nicer neighborhood, one in Baychester, the other in Throgg's Neck.

One of the greatest woman athlete in the world..🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

This happened 85 years ago and it still gets me choked up as if it only happened last weekend.

A Leo Durocher close up at 0:22 and Frankie Frisch at 0:52. This was the year of Bill Terry's famous "Are they still in the league?" question about the Brooklyn Dodgers. About two weeks after this, after leading the NL for most of the year, the Giants would lose two games to Casey Stengel's Dodgers giving the pennant to the Cardinals, who'd win the World Series vs. Detroit. However, I don't think this game was September 16, 1934 for two reasons: first, because the St. Louis pitcher is left handed and no left handed pitcher pitched for St. Louis that day. Second, the announced attendance was 62,573, which was well beyond standing room only in the Polo Grounds, and it don't look like 6,000 much less than 60,000 in the stands this day. Maybe September 14, when lefty Bill Walker pitched for St. Louis and the announced attendance was 10,916, which still sounds too high for what we see here.

Mi idolo de mi infancia y el mejor peso pluma de todos los tiempos según mi punto de vista

She did all that in Harlem, Harlem needs to honor her as well. I place her image in all my Harlem artwork.

85 years ago today Lou gave his Luckiest Man farewell speech

Such a powerful man taken down by a dreadful disease.

As with most of the people here, I was introduced to the Cappelletti family through the movie Something For Joey. It was an eye opening and sad event. I purposely looked for this video because I had never seen the entire speech. Even though I know what was coming, tears filled my eyes again. John Cappelletti was a class act whose speech is the one that all others are compared.

5:00 notice how he was so weak, he dropped that picture frame

Lou was the very best as a ballplayer and as a human being.

What an incredible man! All the blessings! Happy Lou Gehrig day!

1949 game 1 world series I have a Jackie Robinson signature on ticket stub Because he sat next to grandpa at ice cream parlor after the game! Old Reliable hit a walk off in 9th for 1-0 Yankee win.
