Joe Dimaggio (1914-1999), the son of an Italian fisherman, was admired for his skill and grace as a fielder and base runner. The YANKEE CLIPPER is best known for his incredible 56-game hitting streak in 1941--the season of "the streak",
Dimaggio led the NEW YORK YANKEES TO TEN PENNANTS AND NINE WORLD SERIES titles. Many consider him the greatest all-round player of his time.
By the way not only was he one of greatest players of all time, he was also married to Marilyn Monroe.
