Actually Al, I think the fourth is from a group of pics taken before the 1936 WS. Keep an eye out for the secong in that group showing the end of his swing.
The grouping includes 2 double pics of Lou's swing, 2 double pics of Mel Ott's swing, and Dual pics of Lou and Mel Shaking hands(there are a couple different)
Here are a couple of mine from that group.
Lou's full swing
I've got to get them out of the frame to scan the backs sometime.
Lou and Mel. Bought it slabbed.
The other Lou and Mel together is where they are shaking hands. I think it was used for the cover of 1937 Best Slugger book.
Those pics are beautiful! Great job.
If Jimmy doesn't get them, LMK if you ever want to get rid of the other Gehrigs.
Ben,
That Ruth is a tremendous pic as well, but I like the painting even more. I am partial to Kreindlercolor.
Jimmy,
Classic Gehrig swinging shot. I am sure there are lots of companion pieces for that picture. Happy Hunting!
Best,
Mark
