Description:
Babe Ruth shakes the hand of actor Gary Cooper playing the part of Lou Gehrig during filming of the movie "Pride of the Yankees." The scene is a recreation of “Gehrig Appreciation Day” on July 4, 1939 when Gehrig retired due to his diagnosis with ALS. Almost everything was accurate from the original day, not only did Babe Ruth play himself, the scene was filmed at Yankee Stadium before an actual game and the real Washington Senators and New York Yankees are lined up on either side.
