Original ticket stub issued for the April 30, 1939 Yankees vs. Senators game played at Yankee Stadium which marked the last of Lou Gehrig's historic streak. Gehrig had appeared in every Yankee game played from June 1, 1925 until that date, an unbroken spell which amounted to 2,130 in total. He went 0-4 on the day and would join his team on a road trip to Detroit a few days later. Prior to their May 2nd game in Detroit Gehrig met with Manager Joe McCarthy and relayed that "I'm not going so good...I think it would be better for me to get out of there for a while." With those words Gehrig had benched himself; hobbled by the effects of a disease which would one day bear his name, baseballs' Iron Horse capped off one of the more incredible sporting feats of the first half of the 20th Century. His record would stand for over 50 years. While tickets from his July 4th farewell game played the same year and those from his 1941 memorial game frequently surface, the rarity of the offered stub cannot be overstated and to date only four have been authenticated and encapsulated by PSA. The offered example, graded PSA VG-EX 4 MK retains strong eye appeal with a few flaws that are not overt in nature and the game score in handwritten in pencil along one edge. A monumentally important and almost never offered piece related to one of the more storied careers in baseball history: PSA VG-EX 4 MK
