Lou Gehrig farewell speech.



I feel like sports offer opportunities for raw emotions to be let out and, in turn, be captured. I am not a Yankee supporter, but I am a huge baseball fan, and this speech has always been one that stuck with me becuase of the circumstances involved. This speech shows the sadness of the moment while also showcasing the grace of the older generation, particularly in sports, that has been lost as time has progressed.

I couldn't find the full audio except on this site, and the embedding will not work. Please go to

to listen.
