The 1939 announcement that Lou Gehrig would retire made headlines everywhere. Lost in the fanfare and tributed, however, was the Yankees had to keep playing and move forward without the superstar. Pictured here is the "new look" Yankee infield with Gehrig's replacement Babe Dahlgren and his other three infielders in uniform. Issued by the International News and stamped on the back, this is the only image of the infielders after Gehrig left that we have offered.
