The historic farewell speech of Lou Gehrig, given on July 4, 1939, at Yankee Stadium, is known as “The Luckiest Man on the Face of the Earth” where he expressed thanks despite his ALS diagnosis, highlighting his blessings from family, teammates, and fans, and famously saying, “I might have been given a bad break, but I’ve got an awful lot to live for”. This speech took place during Lou Gehrig Appreciation Day, marking his last public appearance and ending his legendary consecutive-games streak⚾️🥹 - Follow (@js9innings) for insane baseball content⬅️ - Use BRUCE BOLT code “JS9” for an exclusive offer on your next order for the best baseball equipment and accessories ⚡️ - Via - (@mlb) - #baseball #mlb #lougehrigsdisease #als #speech
