The Internet is Insane, Vol. CLXXIII

I can't embed it but here is a film clip that was discovered to be from the very game in which Lou Gehrig began his historic 2,130 consecutive games-played streak.

Behind Ruth, at far left, is a familiar Yankees player: Lou Gehrig. That afternoon, just two innings after Ruth's ground out had been captured on film, Gehrig was sent to pinch-hit for shortstop Pee Wee Wanninger. Lou flied out to Goose Goslin in left field.  But more importantly, it was the first game in which he had participated in four days. The next day, Gehrig started at first base, went 3-for-5 at the plate, and didn't take another day off until May 2, 1939.

Funnier note:

For the final scene in the footage above, I had previously misidentified the player behind Ruth in the dugout and at far right (see blue arrow below) as Earle Combs. In fact, the player is Wally Pipp, ironically the very Yankees first baseman whose job was taken over by Lou Gehrig!

In a word: wowza.
