EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo from the 1920s, we witness a historic moment in baseball as Yankees legend Lou Gehrig fearlessly slides head first into home plate during the fourth inning. The intense competition between the New York Yankees and Washington Senators is palpable, with both teams battling for victory. As Joe Harriss of the Senators attempts to throw Gehrig out, his throw goes awry, slipping past catcher Hank Severeid's grasp. The determination on Gehrig's face is evident as he gives his all to secure that crucial run for his team. This snapshot captures not only an incredible athletic feat but also showcases the passion and dedication these athletes possessed during this era of professional sports. Set against the backdrop of Washington D. C. , where this game took place, it serves as a reminder of America's love affair with baseball. The umpire stands nearby, closely observing every move while fans cheer from their seats in anticipation. Preserved through time by Underwood Archives and now part of Universal Images Group (UIG), this vintage photograph transports us back to a significant moment in sports history. It encapsulates the spirit of competition and camaraderie that has made baseball such an integral part of North American culture.
