Re: WHO AM I.........UPDATE NEW GAME PRIZES READ POST 1
In 1938 he cut a trail to Hollywood to star in a movie written with him in mind. He starred as himself alongside Smith Ballew, the singing cowboy whose looks rivaled Gary Cooper, in the low-grade Western Rawhide (no relation to the classic television series). For good reason critics ignored the film and many people snickered just seeing the movie poster. As far as entertainment purposes Rawhide is less than satisfying, but for the purposes of researching Gehrig the human and what he was like off-field, Rawhide is as a better vessel than many biographies. Via this movie, Gehrig fans see him, not the perspective with which biographies color him.
