As you can see, the autograph has been graded a perfect 10 by Beckett. Add in the large game-worn patch and this card is spectacular. The card itself grades out at a 9, which is extremely high for booklet cards. But the highlight is obviously that large, unmistakeable, signature of the Iron Horse. The card speaks for itself and does great justice to such an amazing ball player and person.

Of all the players in baseball history, none possessed as much talent and humility as Lou Gehrig. His accomplishments on the field made him an authentic American hero, and his tragic early death made him a legend. Gehrigs lifetime batting average was. 340, the 15th all-time highest, and he amassed more than 400 total bases on five occasions. Only 13 men have achieved that level of power in a season.

Ruth did it twice, and Chuck Klein did it three times. Gehrig is one of only seven players with more than 100 extra-base hits in one season, and only he and Klein accomplished that feat twice. During his career, Gehrig averaged 147 RBIs a season. No other player was to reach the 147 mark in a single season until George Foster did it in 1977. And, as historian Bill Curran points out, Gehrig accomplished it while batting immediately behind two of historys greatest base-cleaners, Ruth and DiMaggio.

Gehrigs 184 RBIs in 1931 remains the highest single season total in American League history. Gehrig won the Triple Crown in 1934, with a. 363 average, 49 homers and 165 RBI and was chosen Most Valuable Player again in 1936. Despite his towering size, he stole home 15 times in his career.

361 in 34 World Series games with 10 homers, eight doubles and 35 RBIs. He also holds the record for career grand slams at 23.

He hit 73 three-run homers and 166 two-run shots, giving him the highest average of RBI per homer of any player with more than 300 home runs.
