It is well documented that Ruth and Gehrig had a "cool" relationship off the field, but they still appeared together both in photos and in public quite often, getting back to the lack of a '34 Goudey Ruth, even though his career was in decline Ruth was still a star and very popular with kids, who collected gum cards in the '30's , so either Ruth didn't want to appear second fiddle on the '34 goudey. or Goudey saw Ruth was in the twilight of his career and chose not to include him,but yet included him in the '35 set ? Does anyone have a theory on Eddie Plank not having a 2nd or even 3rd pose on the T206 set ? He was one of the top pitchers of the day.
