Description

Up for auction is a powerful 1941 photograph capturing Babe Ruth paying his final respects to his former teammate and fellow Yankees legend Lou Gehrig. Taken during Gehrig’s viewing at Christ Episcopal Church in Riverdale, Bronx, this deeply emotional moment shows Ruth standing solemnly beside Gehrig’s flower‑lined open casket. The image has become one of the most poignant pieces of American baseball history, symbolizing the profound bond between two of the sport’s most celebrated icons and marking the heartbreaking loss of Gehrig at just 37 due to ALS. A meaningful and highly collectible piece for fans of vintage sports photography and Yankees memorabilia.

Please review all photos carefully, as they are part of the description. Feel free to reach out with any questions - and as always, happy bidding!
