‘The Pride of the Yankees’ is being show as part of our opening day celebration of our American Legend Lou Gehrig Corn Maze. Admission is only $3.00. Popcorn and refreshments will be available for purchase, including our own seasonal slushies. Bring your lawn chairs & blankets (no outside refreshments/ coolers please.) Eloquently written, stunningly photographed and sensitively directed, this film is the sweet, and utterly American story of Lou Gehrig, the “Iron Man” of the indefatigable New York Yankees of the 1920s and 30s. Staring Gary Cooper, Teresa Wright, and Walter Brennan, ‘The Pride of the Yankees’ follows Gehrig as he leads the Yankees to the world series, becoming one of the best ever to play the game, until in 1939, he learns that he has a lethal neurological disease. His dramatic Yankee Stadium farewell is perhaps the most famous scene in any sports film!
