Iván Manuel Nova Guance( born January 12, 1987) is a Dominican professional baseball pitcher who is a free agent. He has played in Major League Baseball( MLB) for the New York Yankees, Pittsburgh Pirates and Chicago White Sox. Nova grew up poor in the Dominican Republic, where he started playing baseball at a young age. An unheralded prospect, the Yankees signed Nova as an international free agent in 2004. After pitching in minor league baseball through the 2008 season, the San Diego Padres selected Nova from the Yankees in the Rule 5 draft. The Padres opted not to carry Nova on their 25- man roster, however, and returned him to the Yankees. Nova enjoyed a breakout season in the minors for the Yankees in 2009. He made his MLB debut with the Yankees in 2010, and established himself as a key member of the Yankees' starting rotation during the 2011 season. After struggling in 2012, Nova reemerged in 2013, winning the American League Pitcher of the Month Award for August 2013. The Yankees traded Nova to the Pirates in 2016, and he won the National League Pitcher of the Month Award for April 2017. After the 2018 season, the Pirates traded Nova to the White Sox. <SEP> Sophia Loren: Her Own Story is a 1980 American made- for- television biographical film directed by Mel Stuart and starring Sophia Loren as herself. The film was written by Joanna Crawford based on the 1979 biographical book" Sophia, Living and Loving: Her Own Story" by A.E. Hotchner and originally aired on NBC on October 26, 1980. <SEP> Mel Stuart( born Stuart Solomon; September 2, 1928 – August 9, 2012) was an American film director and producer who often worked with producer David L. Wolper, whose production firm he worked for 17 years, before going freelance. <SEP> Adam Parrish Warren( born August 25, 1987) is an American professional baseball pitcher for the New York Yankees organization. He has played in Major League Baseball( MLB) for the Yankees, Chicago Cubs, Seattle Mariners and San Diego Padres. Before beginning his professional career, Warren pitched in college baseball for the North Carolina Tar Heels. Warren made his MLB debut with the Yankees on June 29, 2012.

He was also involved in a few acting and writing projects. <SEP> It is a tribute to the legendary New York Yankees first baseman Lou Gehrig, who died only one year before its release, at age 37, from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, which later became known to the lay public as" Lou Gehrig's disease". Though subtitled" The Life of Lou Gehrig", the film is less a sports biography than an homage to a heroic and widely loved sports figure whose tragic and premature death touched the entire nation. It emphasizes Gehrig's relationship with his parents( particularly his strong- willed mother), his friendships with players and journalists, and his storybook romance with the woman who became his" companion for life," Eleanor. The Pride of the Yankees is a 1942 American film produced by Samuel Goldwyn, directed by Sam Wood, and starring Gary Cooper, Teresa Wright, and Walter Brennan. Details of his baseball career— which were still fresh in most fans' minds in 1942 —are limited to montages of ballparks, pennants, and Cooper swinging bats and running bases, though Gehrig's best- known major league record — 2,130 consecutive games played—is prominently cited. Yankee teammates Babe Ruth, Bob Meusel, Mark Koenig, and Bill Dickey play themselves, as does sportscaster Bill Stern. The film was adapted by Herman J. Mankiewicz, Jo Swerling, and an uncredited Casey Robinson from a story by Paul Gallico, and received 11 Oscar nominations. Its climax is a re-enactment of Gehrig's poignant 1939 farewell speech at Yankee Stadium. The film's iconic closing line —" Today, I consider myself the luckiest man on the face of the Earth" —was voted 38th on the American Film Institute's list of 100 greatest movie quotes.
