Not only that, but footage of Gehrig in the dugout as he's about to start his 2,130 consecutive games streak. June 1, 1925.

Not sure if I am alone but I get chills when watching this kind of stuff. It brings life to the history we love to read and talk about.

You just never know what is out there. Terrific video. The following photo had me laugh. It looks like Gehrig is talking on a cell phone.
