	It doesn't matter how much you score; Lou Gehrig pretty much wins this one.

Comment below threshold: show it

	I read once that years ago SNL wanted to do a Lou Gehrig speech skit, where he looks out to the crowd, and says, "Why me?" Probably a good call not to run with that one.

	I was hoping when I typed "earth," the answer would read "Earth..earth..earth..earth.."

	I usually don't like reports of what people missed or didn't, but crikey... to get "mother-in-law" and miss "baseball"...

	@bowsntoys, seriously? Did you just make a joke about Lou Gehrig on a quiz about his Final Speech? The speech he gave when he was facing death? The speech that means so much to more than just baseball fans. Yeah, laugh it up...

	Sorry for changing this in mid-release. I went back and listened to the four surviving sentences that are on tape. So, I fixed the transcriptions where they didn't match the audio, but the rest is the "standard" cobbled together from the papers of the time. So, I wish there were a definitive source, but we have to trust the four sentence fragments, and the newspaper compilations at the time.

	CDHMIAMIFAN? The joke is about a dry sense of humor, not about Lou Gehrig. Yes, I laughed as much as I could when I watched my father die of ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease). My father thought that joke up, and it made him smile. So judge me, but know that I cared for my father while he slowly became paralyzed over 7 years. Are you going to give me a NEGATIVE for this comment, too?

	I apologize. It was a misunderstanding.

	Thanks, CDH. That is very nice of you. Apology accepted.

	Could have sworn he said something about murderers row. Of course, that could be from the Pride of the Yankees.

	@pita- SNL did do a sketch with Norm MacDonald as Gehrig. After he said he considered himself the luckiest man on the face of the earth and the crowd cheered, Gehrig/MacDonald said "By the way, I was being sarcastic."

	that's a classy speech right there.

	A great piece of American history...Gehrig was a class act to the very end. Thank you for this quiz.
