Photograph taken of Lou Gehrig, Babe Ruth, and Henry "Hank" Johnson in Lindenhurst surrounded by awestruck fans on May 5, 1932 after dining with other teamates at Barnacle Bill's Restaurant at 127 East Montauk Highway.

These baseball heroes were no strangers to the Lindenhurst area. They would come to eat seafood at Barnacle Bill's and also fish off the docks adjacent to the restaurant on Neguntatogue Creek. One of their fishing friends.
