Look at those chicken legs. Gehrig was 6 feet tall, but this person looks a bit taller. Photo of Gehrig as Tarzan in 1936 added for comparison.

But they have such a venerable name, Treasured Antiquities, so clearly they are telling the truth. That must be Lou.

Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s.

Jokes aside, Gehrig seems to be an extraordinarily rare name. Has anyone ever met a Gehrig? Or even heard of one (alive)?

What the heck?!?!

The seller must mean "Lew Gehrig", the "Tin Horse". First baseman for the Long Island Tennis and Croquet Club Softball Team.
