    It's interesting that both Babe and Lou Gehrig spoke in their dying days at Yankee stadium. Their connection with fans and their sincere desire to thank them is different from anything I've seen since Babe died in any sport.

    Like millions of other MLB fans back during the 1920s and 1930s, my grandfather used to listen to the baseball games on a battery-powered radio in the same farmhouse that he was born in.

      This is sad, but he seems genuinely grateful to have the opportunity to say thank you to baseball fans for the great years he got to share with them. A great moment, much like Lou Gehrig's farewell.
