Lou Gehrig was starting to fade, Joe DiMaggio already had three tremendous seasons on the books, and the New York Yankees were in the midst of a dominant four-year run of consecutive World Series championships when these (14) Wide World photos were taken. Sized at 5x7, these matching news service photos form a partial set of the great 1936-1939 Yankees dynasty, with nearly all of the key players in the lineup. Each photo has an overlapping identification blurb dated from September, 1938 attached, and each bears a "Wide World Photos Inc." credit stamp on the reverse.
