Original Acme news service photo showing an overhead view of Yankee Stadium on Opening Day, 1939. This would prove to be Lou Gehrig's final Opening Day while just across the diamond twenty-year-old right fielder Ted Williams was making his major league debut. With the Red Sox in the field Ted Williams is, unfortunately, not shown but an original paper caption remains affixed to verso positively dating the image to April 20, 1939 when the Splendid Splinter first appeared in a major league game. Measures 7" x 9" and includes full LOA from PSA/DNA authenticating the photo as a Type I example.
