Dated: Per the attached news slug, 10/06/1938 (also the date of game 2 of the 1938 World Series) Pertinent Information: As pictured, Joe DiMaggio has just homered in the ninth inning of game 2 of the 1938 World Series. He is greeted at the plate by Lou Gehrig. The Yankees won the game 6 to 3 and went on to win the series four games to none over the Chicago Cubs. In the late 1930s, the Yankees won the World Series in 1936, 1937, 1938 and 1939. Gehrig retired early in the 1939 season. Although he was named as a nonplaying, honorary captain for the 1939 World Series, 1938 would be the last World Series he would play in. Bleacherreport: (in part) Lou Gehrig and the Greatest Baseball Season of All Time "Gehrig's numbers that year were tame by his standards, but still quite good by any stretch of the imagination. He hit .295 with 29 home runs and 114 RBI. He scored 115 runs, slugged .523 and had an on-base percentage of .410. The history of baseball is filled with both great statistical years as well as great tragedies. No season has ever combined the best of one with the worst of the other like Lou Gehrig's 1938 season. It may have been the year he became human as a baseball player, but it's also the year he became an immortal American legend." The item ships to the lower 48 states only.
