A great - and greatly loved - baseball player, Joe DiMaggio is one of the few men to truly define the spirit of baseball and, in doing so, capture the hearts of a nation. Born into an Italian-American family in San Francisco, "Joltin' Joe" first wore the Yankee pin stripes in 1936 at the age of 21, beginning a baseball career that was the stuff of legend. His 56 game, record-breaking hitting streak; delivering the Yankees nine World Series championships; three-time Most Valuable Player; and most eligible bachelor, married twice, the second time to screen goddess Marilyn Monroe; this is a lifetime of great glories, great tragedies, but always, great baseball.
