Lou Gehrig as Tarzan
Just came across this photo while surfing the Internet. The following caption describes the photo.
Here's baseball great Lou Gehrig as we never seen him before, posing in a lion cloth while dressed as Tarzan. Gehrig was setting his sights to move beyond baseball and be in the movies. Most of all, he wanted to play Tarzan and even auditioned for the role - taking time to pose for some publicity shows. Tarzan author, Edgar Rice Burroughs, was not impressed. He sent Gehrig a telegram with the backhanded compliment, "Having seen several pictures of you as Tarzan...I want to congratulate you on being a swell first baseman."
