Good call Steve! It's actually the first photo ever taken of Gehrig in a Yankee uniform.
A single page from the New York Evening Post newspaper dated June 14, 1923. This original 17"x 21" sports page has a large photo of Lou Gehrig saying that he "NOW WEARS A YANKEE UNIFORM."
Gehrig joined the Yanks midway through the 1923 season and made his debut on June 15, 1923, as a pinch hitter.
