Card Date: April 30, 1939
Autograph(s): Tommy Henrich (D); Frank Crosetti (D)
Grade Value: V3
Significance of autograph (very valuable):
One of baseball’ saddest days… the day Lou Gehrig suited it up for the last time. As for these two famous Yankees, Frank Crosetti, Mr. Yankee’, signature speaks for itself, he had been Gehrig’s teammate for eight years starting at shortstop. Tommy Henrich was considered one of the great clutch hitters in baseball history as well forcing MLB to declare him a free agent … forty-plus years before MLB recognized players rights to free agency.
Note: Frankie Crosetti’s autograph is on three of these early-year cards because he happened to have played in these three historic games, would become a good friend, and was one of only a few players alive to sign.
