BG,

They were 104-57, the 1961 team was 109-53, the 1962 team was
96-66. Ralph Houk had a real nice run, he should haved stayed in the dugout and not moved up to the front office as GM.

Lou stops his streak in Detroit, 2,130 games

May 2, 1939
- All Star 1B Lou Gehrig of the Yankees did not play against the
Tigers at Briggs Stadium, ending at 2,130 his streak of consecutive
games played. An ailing Gehrig removed himself from the Yankees
starting lineup, telling his manager Joe McCarthy that he could not
play because of continuing weakness. Doctors will later diagnose Gehrig
with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a fatal disease that affects
the muscles. Gehrig will never play again. Lou Gehrig replacement at
1st base, Babe Dahlgren led the Yankees hitting attack with a HR and
double as the Yankees beat the Tigers by a score of 22-2.


After Lou takes himself out of Yankee lineup, he watches the team get ready for the game from the Yankee Dugout.

I had that card Clipper

A very costly mistake for the Iron Horse!!

April 26, 1931-
At Griffith Stadium in Washington, D.C., a walk to Lyn Lary is followed by a Lou Gehrig HR,
a smash which clears the fence, but bounces back into the hands of
Senators CF Harry Rice. The base runner Lary thinks the ball has been
caught on the fly for the 3rd out returning to the dugout without
crossing home plate, and Gehrig, running with his head down, is ruled
out for passing a runner in front of him costing the Yankees a possible
victory (they lost by 2 runs), the 1931 HR crown (he tied Babe Ruth
with 46) and 2-RBI⁈⁚s to add to his record setting 184 for the season.

Mo,

It was a very costly mistake by Lou! Here is another bad day for
Lou and the Yankees.

May 4, 1931- In an effort to put less strain on his leg, Babe Ruth played 1B as Lou Gehrig moved to right field. Gehrig committed a costly error in the outfield helping the Senators beat the Yankees, by a score of 7-3. This change of positions experiment ends the next day.
