1928 Lou Gehrig Exhibits.
Hands down my favorite Lou Gehrig image and one I’ve wanted in my collection from the first day I saw it. Coming off his record breaking 1927 campaign, arguably one of the greatest seasons put together by any batter in history. This image shows Gehrig at the height of his career following through on a classic power swing that earned him the moniker “Iron Horse”. I imagine him following the ball to an outfield wall in the gap which he did so many times during the 1927 & 1928 seasons. Just to put in perspective how good a hitter Gehrig was. In 1927, Gehrig hit .373, with 218 hits: 101 singles, 52 doubles, 18 triples, 47 home runs, a then-record 175 RBIs (surpassing teammate Babe Ruth's 171 six years earlier), a .474 on-base percentage and a .765 slugging percentage. In 1928, he hit .374, with 210 hits, 123 singles, 47 doubles, 13 triples, 27 home runs, 142 RBI’s, a .468 OBP, and .649 slugging percentage. Oh, and in a 4-game sweep of the Cardinals in the 1928 World Series he averaged .545, .706 OBP, and 1.727 slugging which still stands as a World Series record today. Truly, “The Iron Horse”. _
