Lou Gehrig’s Contract Found

Lou Gehrig’s 1932 Yankees contract - stolen nearly two years ago - was recovered when police arrested a New Jersey man allegedly trying to sell the document back to its owner.

The baseball Hall of Famer’s one-year, $25,000 contract is back in the hands of Queens memorabilia collector Les Wolff, 42, who met the suspect at a Fresh Meadows, Queens, ice cream parlor as detectives watched nearby.

The contract, valued at $30,000, was extorted from Wolff in October 1994 by another collector who claimed the owner had sold him a bogus autographed hockey jersey.
