Interesting photo. What Yankee is that behind Gehrig wearing #3 certainly not the Babe. Probably George Selkirk.
How many guys wore #3 for the Yanks before they retired his number? Can you believe:
Eddie Bockman
Allie Clark
Frank Colman
Cliff Mapes
Bud Metheny
George Selkirk
Roy Weatherly

Second is 1936 Gehrig and Ott before WS.
It came slabbed. I was surprised as the slab is actually pretty nice. Thin yet sturdy. Now, I wouldn't spend money to send any of my others in to be slabbed, but I don't think I'm going to break any I happen to buy slabbed out either.
