In Gehrig's first World Series game, he batted fifth and played his normal position at first base.

Gehrig made out on a fly ball to left field in the 3rd inning, and in the bottom of the 6th inning, Lou drove in Babe Ruth from second base with a single. In Gehrig's last at bat on the day, he flew out to left field in the 8th inning. The offered ticket stub measures 2.2x4.2".
