Beautiful 1927 photograph of Lou Gehrig in uniform with his "Larrupin Lou's" baseball team as he barnstormed across the country with Babe Ruth to make money and promote the game. This photo was taken at the ranch of former ballplayer Jiggs Donohue in Sioux City, Iowa and Gehrig is horsing around with Donohue's kids. There is one other photo from this day known to exist and it also pictures Ruth who would have been just to the left of this photo. A nearly perfect image with exceptional clarity grading a 10/10, this is printed on vintage 1927 Velox paper and is being offered here for the first time ever! An important piece of Gehrig history offered here for the first time ever!
