1927 Photograph of Lou Gehrig as he steps to the plate to bat during the most famous barnstorming event in baseball history as his "Larrupin Lou's" took on the "Bustin Babe's" after their iconic 1927 season in which both men took the title for the Murderers Row Yankees! A unique snapshot that measures about the size of a postcard, this is the only example of this photograph that exists and the figure of Gehrig is bold and strong! The condition of this silver gelatin image is nearly perfect with note to some scrapbook paper on the back which could easily be removed. An exciting discovery that is sure to be the cornerstone of any Gehrig collection.
