Default July 4th, 1939 75th Anniversary of Lou Gehrig's Farewell
If my math is correct today is the 75th anniversary of Lou Gehrig's farewell speech at Yankee Stadium. "Today I consider myself the luckiest man on the face of the earth."

Perhaps one of the finest gentleman to ever play our great game. I wish I had a card to show, how about all of you lucky guys that can do that post a few in honor of Lou!

Going to the Twins / Yanks game today at Target field. They're having a Gehrig bobblehead give away.

Default Gehrig Patch
Here is the patch that MLB teams wore on their uniforms yesterday (July 4). This one is a bit off-center to the left:

My all time favorite player, and one of the only athletes worthy of being called a hero. As a departure from pre-war cards, here are a couple original sketch cards of Lou I have had done:
