Good catch, I did not even know Eleanors maiden name was Twitchell until I read your post but that is pretty cool. The wife and the Mother in law on the same sheet even if the Mother signature is "secretarial". I am not aware of the event since nothing in the notebook of signatures had a date. Thanks for that info.

I started collecting because what i read about Lou. He is the main focus of my collection. The autographed 1934 goudey set I started was because it was "Lou Gehrig Says." I don't have most of the items scanned, but I found a few things that were handy. Hope you enjoy.


Team photo from first AL AS team


Promotional photo from when he was holding out and signed to do a movie "The Trail Blazers". This pic is from movie studio with a child star Bobby Breen.


Program from Exhibition game played the week before he retired. It's scored. He didn't play, but is still on the active roster.


Sheet music for theme song from Pride of the Yankees movie.



Front and back of Japanese program from POY movie. Entire book is in Japanese. Date on back of book is 1949. I think the movie was released that year in Japan.

I tried to edit pics to get closer, but I don't seem to be able to. If you want to seem these closer up use one of the Photobucket links below and look in folder "Lou"
