Player Biography
Joe DiMaggio’s grace and class transcended the playing field into American culture. His ability at the plate and in centerfield led Hall of Fame manager Connie Mack to note, “DiMaggio is the best player that ever lived.” “Joltin’ Joe’s” 56-game hitting streak in 1941 helped him to the second of three Most Valuable Player awards. The “Yankee Clipper” was an All-Star every season during his 13-year career. At baseball’s 1969 Centennial Celebration, he was named the game’s greatest living player.
