The Highland Mint presents the Lou Gehrig "Farewell Speech" Photomint. The Highland Mint commemorates one of the greatest players in MLB history but also one of the most touching moments ever to take place on a baseball field. Featured is an 8" x 10" image of Lou Gehrig's farewell speech at Yankee Stadium on July 4, 1939. There were more than 62,000 fans in attendance as Gehrig stood on the field at Yankee Stadium with the 1927 and 1939 Yankees. He fought back tears of overwhelming emotion and began to speak his immortal words of thanks, calling himself "the luckiest man on the face of the earth." The Photo of Gehrig at the microphone is combined with a 24KT Gold plated NY Yankees Coin and a 24KT Gold Yankee Stadium Coin as well as a numbered certificate of authenticity listing the date of the speech and his career accomplishments such as his Triple Crown and MVP awards. The photo, gold coins and COA is presented in a 13" x 16" black molded wood frame with navy on white double matting and a glass front panel. This is officially licensed by MLB and is limited to 1939 pieces.
