Historically vital negative shows Lou Gehrig in one of the most classic baseball images ever taken. He is seated in the New York Yankee dugout after having benched himself in Detroit. This is the game that stopped the streak at 2,130 consecutive games. Dated May 31, 1939 this is the negative that became the Wide World wire photo. Thought provoking image shows him sitting beside manager Joe McCarthy in an image worthy of Cooperstown. 4x5” in original envelope.
