THE NEW YORK TIMES, May 4, 1939
* Lou Gehrig's games played streak ends
* New York Yankees - Major league baseball
* Best title to be had
The sport's section reports a major moment in baseball history--re. Lou Gehrig breaking his consecutive game appearance streak with a two column heading on page 29: "Buoyant Gehrig, Long String Ended, Puzzled Over His Batting Decline" with subhead: "Lou, Strange but Relaxed Figure on Bench, Says Eye Is Sharp---Felling General He Has Played His Last Game" (see) Was he feeling the effects of his disease at this time ? On the 4th of July of that year would be his emotional retirement from baseball. Great to have in this famous NYC title, the home of the Yankees.
