Hands down, the wildest, weirdest photo ever of Lou Gehrig. It's unclear why the courtly Iron Horse agreed to flex his mass of muscles clad only in a skimpy "caveman" loincloth and swinging a prehistoric "bat." More than a few women who saw this shot were happy he did, though the rather quizzical look on his face is anything but. The 7 1/4 x 9 1/4" photo has minor creasing in two corners o/w NRMT with perfect contrast.
