Lou Gehrig’s Signed Page from “Who’s Who in MLB” Album: A Timeless Treasure

A Legendary Career Immortalized

Lou Gehrig, the “Iron Horse” of baseball, remains one of the most revered figures in the sport’s history. His illustrious career, marked by extraordinary achievements, has left an indelible mark on Major League Baseball. Gehrig’s prowess at the plate was unparalleled, as evidenced by his 1934 Triple Crown victory, where he led the American League with a .363 batting average, 49 home runs, and 165 RBIs. His record of 184 RBIs in a single season still stands as an AL record, and his 23 career grand slams remain unmatched.

Gehrig’s legacy extends beyond statistics. His remarkable streak of 2,130 consecutive games played, often through pain and injury, exemplifies his resilience and dedication. Tragically, his career and life were cut short by the disease that now bears his name. Yet, his impact was so profound that he became the first athlete in any sport to have his number retired by his team.

A Rare and Exquisite Collectible

We are honored to present a rare piece of baseball memorabilia that captures the essence of Lou Gehrig’s legacy.

The signature is a testament to his enduring legacy, grading a near-perfect 10 in our opinion.

On the reverse side, the page is further enhanced by the signature of Hall of Famer Charlie Gehringer, also in fountain pen, with a signature grade of 9 to 10. This dual-signature piece is accompanied by a Letter of Authenticity (LOA) from JSA, ensuring its provenance and significance.
