What Parents Need to Know
About The Pride of the Yankees
Parents need to know that this film, about baseball legend Lou Gehrig, is free of extreme violence or sexual references and Lou himself is a role model for his humility and work ethic. Young kids may be disturbed by Gehrig's illness and the talk of death, however, and it may be too emotionally intense for them. There are bouts of mild violence, including Gehrig getting hit on the head with a baseball and getting into a fight with a man who's trying to humiliate him.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about whether there are any sports stars today who are good candidates for a similar movie. Are there sports stars who are also good role models for their kindness, dignity, and humility? How have sports changed since Gehrig was the Iron Man of Baseball? Which stars today aren't good role models and why? Kids who are new to Gehrig's story may want to read up on him and read about the disease that eventually lead to his departure from baseball.
