1925 Wally Pipp Yankees photograph from Underwood and Underwood from the year that he was replaced at first base by Lou Gehrig. Wally Pipp is the walking example in life as to why you NEVER take a day off! He was the star Yankees first baseman and after having a headache and taking a day off, he was never again the starter as he would be replaced by the great Lou Gehrig that day, and all the rest of Pipp's days as a Yankee. Stunning image with great detail and bold tones, there is a crease and three small pinholes from editorial use, but the image looks wonderful. It has a bold Underwood and Underwood stamp across the back and another stamp from EFS which is dated 1926, but this is absolutely a 1925 image!
