1938 Photograph of Lou Gehrig in his last healthy season as he shakes hands with Jacob Ruppert before heading into a closed door meeting to discuss salary. Gehrig was demanding $40,000 but settled on $36,000 and bonus of… $750! An impressive image with tragic overtones as Gehrig was probably already dying of ALS.
