The Waner brothers and the original Bash Brothers, 1927 World series.

Gehrig loved to pose with his bat in just that spot...I think that he had a sly sense of humor that didn't get noticed too much.

You can see why the Waners said, "Gee, they're big guys!" when they first saw the Yanks take BP.

Gehrig loved to pose with his bat in just that spot...I think that he had a sly sense of humor that didn't get noticed too much.

Actually, I've seen several poses like that. Sometimes ballplayers get into a mood where they can't resist 'locker room humor'.

Here are some other photos that show the same rauchy humor. Most ballplayers resist the urge, but sometimes, they don't. Behold.

The photo underneath is an extremely significant news service print, issued on October 17, 1939, capturing the exact moment when Lou Gehrig's career officially ended. Gehrig is seen here taking his official oath of office as parole commissioner. Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia is captured administering the oath as Lou's wife Eleanor looks on. Gehrig's commission was set to last ten years beginning on January 1, 1940. He died in June, 1941.
