Where was The Pride of the Yankees filmed

Film was filmed as a biographical drama telling the story of legendary baseball player Lou Gehrig, portrayed by Gary Cooper. The narrative follows Gehrig from his days as a student at Columbia University, where his mother hopes he will become an engineer, through his remarkable career with the New York Yankees. The film covers his record-breaking streak of 2130 consecutive games, his romance with Eleanor Twitchell played by Teresa Wright, and his eventual battle with a devastating illness now known as ALS or "Lou Gehrig's disease." The production captures the spirit of American baseball in the early 20th century and culminates in a recreation of Gehrig's famous farewell speech at Yankee Stadium. Despite Gary Cooper not being a natural baseball player, the filmmakers used creative camera angles and even had Cooper bat left-handed to mimic Gehrig's stance, making the sports sequences surprisingly convincing for the era.
