The bearer of this 1939 Yankee Stadium pass Lawrence Berliner of the Berliner Press Bureau may have been in attendance for Gehrig's last game at Yankee Stadium April 30 against the Senators. The following game in Detroit Gehrig famously removed himself from the lineup to the dismay of baseball fans nationwide. Gehrig would never play in another game though the Yankees would win 111 games and potentially field the greatest team in their history sweeping the Reds in the World Series and outscoring their opponents for the year by an astonishing 411 runs. Every hitter in the starting lineup clubbed double digits in home runs seven drove in more than 80 runs. Seven pitchers won double digits in ballgames simply an incredible season to witness. The pass is in VG condition with some surface abrasions particularly visible at the bottom left. Despite this a tremendous pass.
