[Lou Gehrig]. Bleacher Ticket to the Lou Gehrig Memorial, July 4, 1941. 3¼ x 2½, printed in black and white on card stock, with ticket number and bleacher seat price in red. Age toning, minor fading, edges show minor wear. Overall, very good condition.
One of the most revered figures in baseball history, the "Iron Horse" is remembered both for his accomplishments and the sad story of his demise. The outpouring of affection when Gehrig's illness was announced in 1939, and the sorrow at his death in June of 1941 were a mark of the connection between this great player and his fans. This is a great opportunity for the baseball collector.
Estimated Value $300 - 400.
