Pride of the Yankees (1941)

This was on TCM while I was at dinner last night.  An interesting way of telling a story we generally know.  Lou Gehrig grows up poor and his mother and father do not want him playing a game.  But he gets called in and proves himself quite a player.  Also starring Babe Ruth, it has in interesting cinematography and Gary Cooper as the iron jawed Iron Horse is well cast. 

The final scene is more descriptive than narrative, but the last line "Today I consider myself the luckiest man in the world" is a fine ending.
