68 years later, Gehrig's speech still resonates He can still see Gehrig, withered by the disease that would come to bear his name. He was standing frail on the field during a doubleheader intermission, a man less than two years away from a death that came exactly 16 years to the day that he replaced Wally Pipp in the Yankees' lineup. Anella can still feel the stadium's stillness. He can still hear the echoing words.

As a Tiger fan, could Fox have brought in a more lopsided crew of announcers. Let's see, take the St. Louis born son of the most famous broadcaster in Cardinal's history and pair him with a former player who spent the first decade of his career in ... St. Louis. Maybe if FOX could have resurrected Stan the Man from the grave they could have completed their Cards bias and promoted the upcoming Simpson's Treehouse of Horrors. Every year pal. They are there every year. And St. Louis fans are just as unhappy about it as you are.

Lou Gehrig has been my hero since I was a little kid. Not just for the way he played baseball, but for the way he lived his life. Thanks for posting this justgary.
