Default The Bambino, Iron Horse and Vander Meer

Here is a newspaper clipping from 1939 of Babe Ruth and Johnny Vander Meer at Ebbets stadium prior to Vander Meer pitching is 2nd of back to back no hitters.



The next is a newspaper clipping from the 39 World Series showing Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig after the Iron Horse was diagnosed with ALS.



The last is a newspaper clipping from the 39 All Star game showing Lefty Gomez, Lou Gehrig and Jimmie Foxx documenting Gehrig's illness would prevent him from playing in the game.
