The Picture of Lou Gehrig Ending the Streak

This picture shows Lou informing the umpires that he is benching himself and the official lineup must be changed.

From the Stuff Nobody Cares About blog, the caption reads:

But he didn't play in that game. He pulled himself out of the game before it began.

His LAST game he played was at Yankee Stadium versus the Washington Senators (the original one, not today's team) on April 30, 1939. He batted 0-4 and had a batting average of .143 at that point.
