My new favorite photo.
Okay, so many of you know I collect Lou Gehrig stuff, amongst other things. Somewhere along the way, due to Jimmy's corrupting influence and damn enthusiasm, I got into photos. Type 1, original, or whatever you want to call them, they're all good.
Usually, I prefer pics of him younger, playing, or with family/kids, smiling and projecting the warmth that he became beloved for. So I found this one and was so moved that I had to buy it. I think it's a type 1, but didn't see the back, but it doesn't matter. I wanted it anyway. There is something very special about it, almost ethereal.  The kids standing in front of him with there gloves and a ball. I don't know...It just struck me. Wanted to share. We could use a few heroes like Lou now in sports. Best, Mark

Gehrig
A magnificent photo, Mark.
There is something especially transcendental about it, particularly with respect to its simplicity. No pomp here, just the hearts and admiration of Gehrig's best fans. In a similar vein, I was impressed with the simplicity of the accoutrements used for the viewing. No need for ostentatious elements when such integrity and character is present. many thanks for sharing, all the best, barry

Great photo.
Poignant with a touch of humor (hidden ball and gloves) Reminds my of something Norman Rockwell could have drawn for The Saturday Evening Post.

I agree with everything already said about how powerful the picture is! It really says alot. Now in the first picture Gehrig is clearly not in the casket that Babe is viewing him in. Hell it doesn't even look like Gehrig is in a casket with the boys looking on.

It appears he is lying on a bed of some sort. I don't have it in hand to see if there is any more info or slug describing the scene. When I get it, I'll update the info.

Assuming its two different scenes...a viewing and the funeral.
