Thanks everyone. I'm glad you felt the same way I did.

Jay,
Normally, I wouldn't buy this type of photo either.
When I am choosing which photo to put funds into, the ones where he is young, vibrant, and smiling always win out. I tend not to pursue photos of him from the 1938-1939 time frame. In most of those, you can clearly see the effect the ALS is having on him. Even after all this time collecting Gehrig, I only recently acquired my first photo of his during the retirement ceremony. I just think they are too sad.

This pic just happen to hit me powerfully. Even the one with Babe wasn't as moving as this one. I found it so poignant that I couldn't resist.
It's the kids with the gloves and ball that does it. It really projects a certain emotional bond between Lou and the kids.

Best,
Mark
