Happy 75th Anniversary: Lou Gehrig's 'luckiest man' speech

On July 4, 1939, baseball legend Lou Gehrig was honored in Yankee Stadium. It was just a few weeks after he was forced to retire from the game following his ALS (now known as Lou Gehrig's Disease) diagnosis. The Yankees icon would pass away just two years later.

On the 75th anniversary of the most famous speech in MLB history, here it is:

"Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!" - Sen. John Blutarsky

You know, this used to be a helluva good country. I don't understand what's gone wrong with it. - George Hanson, 1969

A bad day at golf is better than a good day at work.
