Parade of Ridiculousness: Lou Gehrig in Veeck's shorts

I am posting this absolutely ridiculous card three reasons:

1. Reivax made this suggestion on the original Babe Ruth in Astros rainbow stripe post - and I want to keep encouraging ideas to come in.
2. Once you get past the desecrating a legend part, it does look pretty funny. For someone who spent his entire professional career wearing Yankee pinstripes, I think the Iron Horse looks like he loves the shorts.
3. I am hoping posting this somehow jinxes the Yankees tonight as they take on the Detroit Tigers in an elimination Game 5 of the ALDS.

Got another one you want to see? Put it in the comments section below, email me, tweet me, or post on my Facebook wall.
