As shown here, Ruth and Gehrig's contact with each other didn't end at the Yankee Stadium tribute where Gehrig gave his "Luckiest Man" speech. This 7" x 9" photo dates to October 5, 1939 and displays a very clean surface overall with but a small spot of paper loss at lower left. The Acme Newspictures paper caption reads, "BABE RUTH AND LOU GEHRIG BEFORE SECOND SERIES GAME - Babe Ruth (left) with his old Yankee teammate, Lou Gehrig, non-playing captain of the New York Yankees, just before the American League Champions took the field at Yankee Stadium, Oct. 5, in the second game of the World Series.
