Babe Ruth, right, immortal New York Yankee baseball player comforts Lou Gehrig, who was almost too moved to speak to the vast throng which acclaimed him at Yankee Stadium July 4, 1939 where the Yankees met the Washington Senators in a doubleheader. Gehrig, famed iron man of the Yankees, was honored by players and fans. As an added honor, the world championship flag that the Yankees won in 1927 with a team hailed as one of baseball's greatest was unfurled at the stadium. (AP Photo/Murray Becker)
