Contract signed by Herb Pennock for Lou Gehrig biopic "Pride of the Yankees"
Pride of the Yankees garnered ten Academy Award nominations in 1942, including best writing original story, best picture, best actor, and best actress. Gary Cooper played Lou Gehrig and many Yankee teammates appeared in the film.
In the collection is the contract signed by Herb Pennock to be portrayed or represented in the movie. All fans of Gehrig, the Yankees, and baseball should see Cooper, Teresa Wright, and Walter Brennan turn in outstanding performances in the film. For more knowledgeable fans of the game, catching a glimpse of the Yankees of the era adds to the viewing experience.

Pennock signed the contract to consent to be portrayed or represented in the film as did many Yankees. Babe Ruth actually appeared in the movie as himself and had a number of scenes in the film. In this photo the Bambino shakes hands with Gary Cooper who portrayed Lou Gehrig.
