This game was played exactly one week after Gehrig's "Luckiest Man" speech of July 4th, 1939.
The All-Star Game came to the House that Ruth Built for 1939 and honorary captain Lou Gehrig watched the AL win a tightly contested 3-1 game behind a Joe DiMaggio homer. Twenty-year-old Bob Feller, the Tribe's rookie fireballer, pitched out of a bases-loaded jam and hurled 3 1/3 innings of one-hit ball to close out the AL's win.

Brock, great pick-up on the Carrom Ideal Baseball Game. The date you were provided is reasonably accurate (could even be a few years older), as substantiated by period advertising and a very nice history page at the company's own website, here:
http://www.carrom.com/index.php?opti...d=49&Itemid=56 Did the instructions and/or any of the playing pieces survive along with the board? Those are the really tough bits... Chris, indispensible as Mark's book is for game collectors, it could have used a bit more scrutiny in editing... we'll certainly cut him some slack, though, considering there were almost no other sources of information available out there when the book was written. In any case, the game shown in his book is not Ideal, but one of several later Carrom models, identical to one another on the baseball side of the board but distinguished from one another by the game or design on the reverse side. Most likely it's the late 1930s "LFK" model.
