For the true Dimaggio fan. This is an exhaustive compilation of photos, facts, trivia, and stories about Dimaggio during his major league years. Organized chronologically it conveys the ebb and flow of his great career, though in truth there was very little ebbing. He arrived fully formed, an Adonis of Baseball. Of all the legends of the game, perhaps only Ruth is more known, though Dimaggio seems more modern and hence more relatable.
