Lou Gehrig Photo File

[Bill Burgess]

Fantastic collection!

One photo shows "Mrs. Gehrig and colleagues". I don't know the identity of the male, but the woman on Mrs. Gehrig's right is Blanche McGraw, the widow of John. Three years later she is the person with the bouquet of roses at the last Polo Grounds home appearance of the New York Giants.

Where? I don't see the photo. What post # is that on?

[Bill Burgess]

Thanks, Joe Barrie. Corrected it.

Hi Bill -

Check out my Fantastic Baseball Photos thread and you'll see many more colorized pics. I believe them all to be from SPORT magazine.
