Remembering Lou Gehrig’s ‘Luckiest Man’ Speech
Tomorrow is the Fourth of July, as the United States celebrates 232 years of independence from Britain (and what better way to rub in the limeys’ noses than having two American chicks meeting in the Wimbledon women’s final).
But as USA TODAY’S GAME ON points out, July 4th is also the anniversary of one of the most famous sports speeches ever given - Lou Gehrig telling the Yankees faithful how he was “the luckiest man on the face of the earth.”
