Well, let me tell you, I saw this thing on the computer about Lou Gehrig and Babe Ruth pictures. Those two, they were somethin’ else. Back in the day, everyone talked about ’em. Big fellas, hittin’ those balls outta the park. My old man, bless his soul, he used to listen to their games on the radio. Said they were the best. And you know what? He was right.
So, this picture of Lou Gehrig and Babe Ruth, it’s a real piece of history. You see these two fellas standin’ there, bats in their hands, lookin’ like they own the world. And they kinda did, least when it came to baseball. They say that Lou fella, he got tired of that Babe Ruth. Said he was always gettin’ drunk and cause problem. My husband, he was a lot like that Babe Ruth fella. Loud and always up to somethin’.
But that Lou, he was a good boy, I reckon. Hard worker. Shame what happened to him. That picture though, reminds me of a time when things were simpler. When baseball was all that mattered to some folks.
- These two, they hit more home runs than anyone.
- They were on the same team, the New York team.
- They called them the home run twins.
You look at that picture of Lou Gehrig and Babe Ruth, you can almost hear the crowd cheerin’. They were somethin’ special, those two. My old man, he’d have loved to see ’em play in person. He used to say, “One day, we’ll go see them play.” But we never did. Too much work on the farm, you know. Always somethin’ to do.
This one time, I remember, he got so excited about a game, he almost knocked over the radio. He was jumpin’ up and down, yellin’ at the top of his lungs. I thought the roof was gonna come down. Those were good times. Wish I could go back sometimes.
That photo of Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig, it’s like a window to the past. I found lots of their photos online. You can see ’em playin’, laughin’, just bein’ themselves. It’s like they’re still alive, in a way. These pictures are really expensive now. My old man always said, “Those fellas are gonna be famous.” And he was right, again.
They don’t make ’em like that anymore, I tell ya. These young folks today, they don’t know what real baseball is. They got all their fancy equipment and their big salaries. But they ain’t got the heart that those two had.
- Babe Ruth, he was a character, they say. Always gettin’ into trouble.
- Lou Gehrig, he was the quiet one. Worked hard, did his job.
- They were like two sides of the same coin.
I saw this other picture of Lou Gehrig and Babe Ruth where they were standin’ with some other fellas. Must’ve been a big game. Everyone was dressed up, lookin’ all fancy. But those two, they stood out. You could tell they were the stars. That picture, it’s worth a lot of money now, I hear.
Some folks say they didn’t get along. That they had a big fight. I don’t know about all that. But I do know that they were the best baseball players there ever were. And that’s all that matters, in the end.
You know, it’s funny how a simple picture of Lou Gehrig and Babe Ruth can bring back so many memories. Makes me think of my old man, and the farm, and those summer nights listenin’ to the radio. Life was hard back then, but it was good. We had each other, and we had baseball.
That Babe Ruth, he was a real firecracker. They say he loved to party, loved the ladies. And that Lou, he was different. More serious, you know? But together, they were magic. You look at their faces in this picture of Lou Gehrig and Babe Ruth, they looked so different. Pure magic. I think that’s why everyone loved them. They were like us, only better. They were like heroes, from a movie or somethin’.
I wish my old man was here to see all this. He’d have a field day lookin’ at all these pictures of Lou Gehrig and Babe Ruth online. He’d probably spend all day doin’ it, too. He loved those two fellas that much. That’s how he got to know those two names, Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig. He always mentioned that. He always remember those names.
Well, I guess that’s all I got to say about that. Just remember, those two, Lou Gehrig and Babe Ruth, they were the best. And this old picture of Lou Gehrig and Babe Ruth proves it. Don’t you ever forget it.
