Gehrig’s Grapes: Letters From HOFer To Grape Farmer Up for Auction

October 24, 2022 By Bob D'Angelo

Lou Gehrig was the first athlete to appear on a box of Wheaties. But who knew that the Iron Horse was also a grape nut? That’s the impression one gets after reading three letters the New York Yankees Hall of Famer wrote sometime in the 1930s to a grape farmer in New York. The letters are part of the October 2022 sale by California-based Nate D. Sanders Auctions that ends … [Read more...] about Gehrig’s Grapes: Letters From HOFer To Grape Farmer Up for Auction

22 Years in the Making, World’s Greatest Yankees Collection Goes on Display

November 30, 2021 By Rich Mueller

Pete Siegel didn’t know the man who walked into his memorabilia shop on 57th street in Manhattan back in 1999.  A lot of people were sucked in off the street by the unique name of the place--Gotta Have It! Collectibles—and the often dazzling pieces of sports and entertainment memorabilia that hung on the walls and sat on counters until they were sold. Jay Baker didn’t … [Read more...] about 22 Years in the Making, World’s Greatest Yankees Collection Goes on Display

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.

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...] about Photo of the Day: Gehrig Assists Yankee Workout Day After Retirement

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

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