Lou Gehrig was the silent leader on some of the game's greatest teams. In a career that spanned two Yankees dynasties, Gehrig came up as an understudy to Babe Ruth and finished as a mentor to Joe DiMaggio. Along the way he won six World Championships, two American League MVP Awards and a Triple Crown. His tragic death at age 37 makes his signature one of the most sought after of any Hall of Famers.

      This Lou Gehrig cut measures 1 ¼ x 2 inches and is affixed to a 4 ½ x 6 inch album page. The signature is in bold, dark black fountain pen. As it was signed in a bit of a haste by the "Iron Horse," the “g” is slightly smudged. The cut and album page shows light toning from age and the album page has a slight crease in the lower left corner, none of which effects Gehrig’s signature. This signed cut comes with a full LOA from JSA (Y81848).
