unless I stumble upon one in Cleveland... ya just never know.

1925 Lou Gehrig vintage original TYPE I photograph. Certainly one of Conlon's masterpieces.

On the back in Conlon's hand it reads... Lou Gehrig "His Home Run Smile"

BTW... The editorial paint around Gehrig's head is water soluble and will easily be removed by a professional at a latter time.

I hoped you all enjoyed viewing these wonderful Conlon images. Thank you and my very best wishes to all. Jimmy

This is killer..1926 is written on the back-also dated by the jersey. 1926 is important here as it was the year of his famous strikeout in the WS of Lazzeri. This was a day after an all night "binger" after his complete game win. It even looks like he "slept" with his hat on here GROVER led ST. LOUIS to their FIRST WORLD SERIES WIN with 2 wins and a save in the twilight of his career against the MIGHTY YANKEES. This story shows how truly talented and flawed he was. LEGENDARY

GREAT image, Ben. I LOVE the light reflections on his buttons. To me, that makes the photograph - it gives it a real breathable air.

Wonderful pick-up.

Matty, Long and short sleeves. Great shot!

Some interesting comments about Matty's apparent aging on the reverse of this Type 1 (in Conlon's hand) make this one a favorite of mine...
