Photo Documents Ruth Signing Last Out Ball from 1928 World Series

December 21, 2020 By Rich Mueller

Babe Ruth Lou Gehrig photo 1928 World Series ball

We’re not sure where it is these days, but we know the last out baseball from the 1928 World Series was preserved—and autographed by both Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig. RMY Auctions is offering a 1928 photograph of the duo signing the ball and presenting it to New York Governor Al Smith, who was a candidate for president. Issued by International News and stamped on the … [Read more...]

Photo of the Day: Gehrig Assists Yankee Workout Day After Retirement

August 5, 2020 By Rich Mueller

He looked like a guy who could fend off any physical challenge but even a baseball god  could not overcome the insidious impact of ALS.  Strong and powerful at the beginning of one year. Unable to compete the next.  The sad ending to his story is well known, but contrary to the impression some may have, Lou Gehrig didn’t completely walk away from the field … [Read more...]

Consignment of the Week: Program from Ted Williams’ Big League Debut

July 30, 2020 By Rich Mueller

He was a long way from home, but it didn’t take long for 20-year-old Ted Williams of San Diego to prove he was not over his head. He was a great prospect, but fans who turned out on a chilly day in New York 81 seasons ago had no idea they were about to see the career launch of one of baseball’s all-time greats. Only a couple of game programs from that afternoon at Yankee … [Read more...]

Passing The Torch: Gehrig-Dahlgren Photo from Streak’s End at Auction

May 6, 2020 By Rich Mueller

As the first week of May 1939 came to a close, baseball’s biggest mystery was what had happened to Lou Gehrig.  The once robust 36-year-old Yankee first baseman had seemingly lost most of his big league ability and shockingly pulled himself from the lineup before a game in Detroit just a few days earlier.  The end of Gehrig’s 2,130-game streak made headlines but what … [Read more...]

Photo of the Day: 1932 Yankees Infield Ahead of World Series

May 4, 2020 By Rich Mueller

They had dominated the American League, winning the pennant by 13 games while finishing with a 107-47.  There were still ten days left in the regular season when the Associated Press distributed a photo featuring members of the team’s infield, ahead of the upcoming World Series.  The 6 ½ x 8 ¼” image shows first baseman Lou Gehrig, glancing away, posed with … [Read more...]

April 8, 2020 By Rich Mueller

A bat beloved by a promising young ballplayer named Lou Gehrig has sold for more than $1 million. Heritage Auctions says it completed the private sale this week. The Hillerich & Bradsby bat is one of the earliest known examples of a Gehrig-used stick ever to hit the market. It was originally available as part of Heritage’s Winter Platinum Night Sports … [Read more...]

Candid Gehrig Photo at Fenway Among RMY Headliners

March 17, 2020 By Rich Mueller

With Babe Ruth finally out of the picture, Lou Gehrig had become baseball's marquee name in 1936. He had played in more than 1,700 consecutive games but showed no sign of fatigue.  Now, a rare candid image from that season--taken in the ballpark of the Yanks' biggest rival--is on the auction block. RMY Auctions has kicked off its March Collectors Auction with over 500 … [Read more...]

Rare Lou Gehrig Pre-Endorsement Bat Up For Auction

February 6, 2020 By Jayson Bussa

Before Lou Gehrig became a baseball icon, he was a promising prospect with the Hartford Senators.  A fan favorite, he was dubbed "The Eastern Babe,” indicating that he was the Babe Ruth of the Eastern League, in which the Senators competed. Gehrig would make the permanent jump from the Senators to the Yankees in 1924 (he also had a stint with the Yankees in 1923), but a … [Read more...]
