Lou Gehrig Greets Babe Ruth
Description
A slide of a black-and-white action photo of Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig during a game against the Athletics at Philadelphia's Shibe Park on April 12, 1932. Ruth and Gehrig wear New York Yankees road uniforms. Ruth is on the left and is jogging away from the batter's box. He reaches back with his right hand and receives a hand shake from Gehrig, who stands with a bat in his left hand. An unknown Philadelphia Athletics catcher, partially obscured by Ruth, watches. The Yankees won the game 12-6. Ruth had two homers and Gehrig also homered in the game.
