"Rawhide" Movie clip with Close up of Lou Gehrig Signature
 

Terrible Movie, you almost feel bad for Lou Gehrig watching it, but at the 1:40 mark of this clip from "Rawhide" is a really cool close up of Gehrig signing an autograph showing how he holds the pen, his slant and flow etc. I cant recall seeing this before so I figured I would share it. Do yourself a favor and fast forward the film, its pretty bad.

Yikes ..Gehrig was good friends with actor Gary Cooper, but it seems the acting aspect didn't rub off , along the same lines when "Coop" portrayed Lou in the movie he swung the bat like an elderly woman would accost an attacker. BUT proves that even though Lou was a Lefty he signed with his RIGHT hand.

Cool. Love the Christy Walsh mention in the credits. Ruth and Gehrig couldn't sneeze without Walsh being involved!
