Autographed Picture of Joseph Paul DiMaggio(November 25, 1914 – March 8, 1999) ONE of the greatest players ever to play the game of Baseball known for his grace on the diamond -nicknamed "Joltin' Joe", "The Yankee Clipper" and "Joe D." As smooth a centerfielder to ever roam the outfield in the cavernous Yankee Stadium where he played fielder his entire 13-year career with the vaunted New York Yankees. Born to Italian immigrants in California, he is widely considered one of the greats of all time and is best known for setting the record for the longest hitting streak in baseball (56 games from May 15 – July 16, 1941), which still stands. three-time American League (AL) Most Valuable Player Award winner and an All-Star 13 times, during his tenure his Yankees won 10 Pennants & nine World Series championships. Inducted into Baseball's Hall of Fame in 1955, he was voted the greatest living player in a poll taken during baseball's centennial year of 1969. Dimmagio's life on the field was fit for a Hollywood script- and his marriage and life-long devotion to Marilyn Monroe really was the life of great Baseball legend and Hollywood icon. Photograph captures the stoic #5 in his noted and focused batting stance. The autograph is in blue marker -is clean and must have for all True Baseball fans, especially Yankee fans and sports collectors. An American Icon. Don't strike out! And don't be the one asking that - "where have you gone Joe Dimaggio" ...because you would have gotten a HOME RUN with your winning bid!!!!!!Overall Size: 14 1/4 x 11 1/8 in.
