Default 77 years ago today - Gehrig's streak ends

May 2nd, 77 years ago today, Lou Gehrig's consecutive game streak ended at Briggs Stadium. Here's a poignant photo capturing the essence of Gehrig's mood after his decision was made. Feel free to post Gehrig items you have from May 2, 1939.

Regards,
Bryan Dec

Not from 1939, but I can't be choosy. Just a nice solid Gehrig

Mark - Awesome Stuff! - definitely pulls on the heart-strings.

I was just thinking what a different world it was back then:

'Please Do Not Copy'


Thanks for sharing,
Raymond

Glad you like them Raymond.

BTW, I put that on there as I hate those ebay scammers that take photos off the internet and sell cheap copies. If ever anyone here wants a clean copy for themselves, just shoot me a message.

Great photo Bob.
