Babe and Gehrig
My favorite pick up this year by far was this Ruth Gehrig photo from Christies. The photo was owned for many years by Stan Coveleski and has an amazing write up by him on the reverse.
"Lou Gehrig & Babe Ruth. I never got any credit for making a hitter out of Babe R. He pitched a game against me he hit the hardest home run I ever had hit off me. 1 wk later they took him away from pitching & put him in the outfield. So I always said to myself that I made a hitter out of him." Pretty good penmanship for a guy who was working 72 a hours a week in a coal mine as a 12 year old boy in Shamokin, PA.
