The Pride of the Yankees (1942)
Classic Lines: "Today, I consider myself the luckiest man on the face of the earth." Gary Cooper
The Lineup: Gary Cooper and real-life Yankees Babe Ruth, Bill Dickey, and Bob Meusel tell the story of Lou Gehrig.
The Box Score: This biopic highlights both the drama of Gehrig's life and career -- both of which were sadly cut short by the neurological disease that would come to bear his name.
The Pride of the Yankees, Harry Harvey and Gary Cooper, 1942.
