We all know how this story ends, even if we don’t know the details. Released not that long after Lou Gehrig died, The Pride of the Yankees (1942, directed by Sam Wood) is less of a biopic and more of a tribute.

The Batter’s Eye: Up the River
Happy Opening Day! It’s officially baseball season, with all the ups and downs that come with being a baseball fan (and since I’m a Nationals fan, that’s mostly downs, sadly). To celebrate baseball season this year, I’ve decided to watch a baseball movie every week. I’m starting with Up the River from 1930.
