Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig Cartoon Evening Herald October 3, 1927
Description
A slide of a cartoon of Babe Ruth (left) and Lou Gehrig (right) from the October 3, 1927 edition of the Evening Herald. The cartoon is on the front page of a newspaper, above the fold, and depicts a portrait and action drawing of both players in pinstripes. The action drawing of Ruth shows him looking up, probably at a baseball he has hit. The action drawing of Gehrig shows him reaching high with his gloved right hand while still keeping his left foot on first base. A chart of Ruth's yearly home runs is in the center, and captions include: "RUTH 'GOLFS' A BALL, WHILE GEHRIG HITS MORE LINE DRIVES" "GEHRIG IS A CAPABLE FIRST SACKER AS WELL AS A TERRIFIC HITTER'" "BUSTER LOU GEHRIG" See ruthba01_354.
