Haha. That rookie kid looks like Joltin Joe Dimaggggiooooooo

I love this thread. Lots of great stuff I'll never have the means to get, but great history about one of my favorite players ever, especially some of the awesome images. Keep em coming guys.

It's good to know there are several other die-hard Gehrig fans here - just curious how many of you will be at the National and at the Net54 Dinner? Leon should give us a Gehrig Table!

I've decided to start taking pictures and scans of my Gehrig collection so I can start posting as well soon. Too swamped at the moment with National preparations, but I'll try to get some up here.

I already arranged to pick up 2 new Gehrig purchases at the NSCC - a 1926-29 Exhibits Postcard Back, and a 1928 W502 Blank Back.

Hey all,

Anyone know a few good sources of images for Gehrig? In particular, I'm looking for a few shots from the retirement speech (especially a good scan of Lou holding his hat with his arms in front of him, looking down at the ground)?

I'm commissioning a sketch card from an artist and want an image similar to that.

Thanks!
Mark
