Lou Gehrig photo used in publication?
 
Does anyone know if this image was used in any publication in 1939 or the 40's?

1937, and at Yankee Stadium.

But he's wearing a road uniform, Graig.

Yeah, he is, but I'm pretty sure it was taken during a day that they had a team photo shoot or something (which was sometimes done at home with road uniforms).

Here's a clearer shot of the top portion of Joey's photo:

Here's a shot of the left field adverts in Yankee Stadium that year (excuse the size):

You can see the same Philip Morris and Vat 69 ads behind Gehrig's head, which again, I know are a bit blurry. I've also circled where Gehrig was most likely standing when the photo was taken.

Here's a better look at the signage from the World Series that year:

Graig, you are a pscho. In the future, please use your psych powers for good. Crazy good info.
