today, i consider myself, pretty darn lucky

70 years ago today, the iron horse gave his famous speech in yankee stadium.

gehrig is probably my favorite non-dodger of all time. even though he was a yankee, i can't find any fault with him. although i may not know as much about gehrig if it weren't for his 'bad break', in between bursts of fireworks this evening i'll think of him and realize that i, too, have 'an awful lot to live for.'
