The movie shows Gehrig's consecutive games streak ended when he took himself out of the lineup in the fifth inning. In reality, Gehrig had approached manager Joe McCarthy in the hotel that morning with his decision. Either way, Gehrig benching himself in the middle of a game would not have stopped the streak, as baseball rules say a player who completes one half-inning in the field or one plate appearance is credited with having played in the game (so his streak would not have ended until the next day).
