Lou Gehrig was a bit of an enigma. An absolute gentleman, who was competitive to the point of obsession who often fought with opponents and umpires on the field. A superstar player who was seen as the epitome of grace and humility, but whose quiet demeanor often crossed the line into arrogance. The offered large 1928 action photo captures a bit of that edge rarely seen in Gehrig as he stands looking down in what can only be described as a cocky pose at a Philadelphia player sliding into first base in vain. A fine image of Gehrig in great shape issued by the International News and stamped on the back, this is a pose of Gehrig that we have never seen before and it sheds some light on the superstar's personality.
