Happy Independence Day!

Hope you're having a great holiday.
This postcard is from the late 1930's/early 1940's.

Today is the 79th anniversary of one of the most bittersweet moments in baseball history, Lou Gehrig Appreciation Day at Yankee Stadium 1939.

    A. Sweet postcard.

    B. It's a good thing I wasn't a kid in the 1920's/1930's, because I have a feeling Gehrig would have been my favorite player and I might have ended up a Yankees fan. I'm not an advocate for athletes being role models, but Lou Gehrig sure comes close.
