We here at Trusts & Estates have officially caught “baseball fever” — an ailment that occurs between the end of regular baseball season in September and the beginning of post-season in October. As a Red Sox fan (the rest of the T&E staff is glaring at me right now), it's difficult to live in New York City, surrounded by navy pinstripes. However, as a baseball fan, it's important to acknowledge greatness even when that person played for a competing team. Lou Gehrig, featured on our cover this month on a 1933 Delong Lou Gehrig #7 baseball card that sold at the Heritage Auctions Signature Vintage Sports Collectibles Platinum auction on Aug. 4, 2011 in Chicago for $31,070, is one of those great players. Nicknamed “The Iron Horse” for his durability, he played all 17 years of his career as a New York Yankee. He was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1939 and voted the greatest first baseman of all time.
