What a terrific display those two Ruth pieces will make, Mike!

Here's a vintage original photo of the Iron Man as he gets ready to play in his 2,000 consecutive game.

Here is an off topic question regarding the Gehrig pictures and Lou Gehrig day.

I have noticed that all of the ball players in the pictures are wearing undershirt sleeves. Looking through archived information, all information points to the fact that July 4, 1939 was a hot muggy day with temps around 85 degrees. Why were all the players wearing sleeves under their wool uniforms?

The only logical thought I have on this is that the undershirts soaked up the sweat so the uniforms would not be so heavy when the sweat was absorbed. Other than this, I cannot think of any reason why they would wear long sleeves on a hot, muggy July day.

Any thoughts?
