I know that as long as I was following Ruth to the plate I could have stood on my head and no one would have known the difference.” The quote perfectly captures the tremendous humility of the Iron Horse. While Ruth embraced his larger-than-life celebrity, Gehrig remained  modest and reserved despite standing alongside him as one of the greatest players the game had ever seen. Combined with Gehrig’s tragically early passing at just 37 years old, comparatively few examples of his autograph exist today — and single-signed baseballs are in a class of their own.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cfont face=\"Tahoma\" size=\"4\"\u003eGehrig spent his entire 17-year career with the New York Yankees, compiling a remarkable .340 lifetime batting average, 2,721 hits, 493 home runs and 1,995 RBI.

His legendary career was tragically cut short by ALS in 1939, and Gehrig was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame that same year.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cfont face=\"Tahoma\" size=\"4\"\u003eT\u003cspan class=\"gmail_default\"\u003ehe black fountain ink signature contrasts perfectly off the white horsehide leather - creating a true Hall of Fame relic from one of the all-time greats!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cfont face=\"Tahoma\" size=\"4\"\u003eComes with a Grading Letter of Authenticity from PSA\/DNA \u003cbr\u003eAutograph Grade 7\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cfont face=\"Tahoma\" style=\"\" size=\"4\"\u003eShips FedEx\/UPS\/USPS with Insurance\u003cbr\u003eQuestions? \u003ca href=\"tel:(551)%20486-3768\" value=\"+15514863768\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"color: rgb(17, 85, 204);\"\u003e5514863768\u003c\/a\u003e!\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BC Vintage","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52518654935342,"sku":null,"price":14950.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0829\/5061\/9438\/files\/57_0bde8940-d00b-4ebb-9249-1f54c4ac5e31.jpg?v=1787975704","url":"https:\/\/bcvintage.com\/products\/rare-lou-gehrig-single-signed-baseball-auto-grade-psa-7","provider":"BC Vintage","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
