Original newspaper from Danville, IL, on June 21st, 1939, with a headline about the famous announcement that Lou Gehrig was stepping down from baseball due to his illness.

Paper is in fair/good condition. Fragile, but you can turn through the pages with care. The main page has wear at the fold, the worst is pictured below. All pages seem to be there, though someone clipped out something on page 7/8.

Great headline for baseball collectors!
