Default 4/30 Today In History - Lou Gehrig show 'em
Posted By: Todd

1939 At Yankee Stadium, Lou Gehrig's streak and career comes to end as the 'Iron Horse' plays his final game going 0-for-4 against the Senators. The Yankees first baseman played in 2,130 consecutive games and compiled a .340 batting average with 490 home runs during his 17 seasons with the Yankees.

Looks good to me

Just a note to all, even though your uploaded pictures show as thumbnails, when someone clicks on them they get to see the whole thing. It just lightens up the server load quite a bit to do it this way.
