La grand-mère de Lou travaille comme cuisinière de l'université Columbia et le fait admettre à l'université. Lou travaille comme serveur au restaurant universitaire. Remarqué pour ses dons de sportif, Lou devient membre du club mais se heurte à l'hostilité de certains membres, des snobinards imbus d'eux-mêmes. Le journaliste sportif Sam Blake le recommande au Yankees de New York ; la santé de sa mère nécessitant une intervention chirurgicale coûteuse, Gehrig abandonne ses études et signe un contrat avec les Yankees afin de pouvoir disposer de la somme nécessaire.
