I dont generally post much on these types of threads because not much of my collection is scanned. I have maybe 20-25 significant Gehrig photos but here are a few that have not been shown that are some of my favorites. They will all be at the National. Gehrig was perhaps the coolest guy in all of sports. A wholesome family man who was an amazing athlete and an even more amazing person. Hope you guys like them.

1. Gehrig in 1926
2. Gehrig with Ruth after Babe's frst home run of 1932
3. Gehrig with Ruth after Home Run
4. Gehrig incredible studio quality photo c. 1934
5. Gehrig with his new fiancee

Will post these in the next post

needs to scan and post much, much more of his collection!

1937 Babe Ruth's All-American Baseball Team. One of just a handful of images ever taken of Gehrig, Ruth, and DiMaggio together. Original vintage TYPE I photograph.

I LOVE that image, Jimmy. Not only are Ruth, Gehrig and DiMaggio in the mix, but my boy Hubbell is too! Was this taken at any point before the '37 World Series? The background looks like the Polo Grounds to me...
