there are hundreds on pics online of old swim teams and the guys were always nude- even in pics with female swimmers (clothed)- STRANGE!

I’ve seen some photos where they’re relaxing with their families before and after a meet, totally naked, and no one is bothered by this. It’s just so odd, when you consider how puritanical America is, and was. Even some meets where there are girls teams also competing, and yet the men are the ones naked.

On this day in 1923, a 19-year-old Lou Gehrig officially became a New York Yankee, as the then-Columbia star signed his first contract with the Yankees. Less than two months later, the future Hall of Famer would make his big league debut.
