Even tough Gehrig appreciated all the gifts and all the fans and friends that attended his ceremony between games of the doubleheader vs the Senators, he had a hard time handling his farewell speech. He broke down a few times during his speech. The sad part is after his speech, he immediately left the stadium and went home. He never came back to Yankee Stadium again.
