		PETERSBURG, Fla. -- Dom DiMaggio is angry with Vanity Fair's story on his brother, Joe, which was based on interviews with Morris Engelberg, the lawyer for the late Hall of Famer.
		DiMaggio is pictured as a brooding, parsimonious loner who held grudges and demanded strict adherence to rules.
		Dom DiMaggio was in St. Petersburg for the Tampa Bay Devil Rays' weekend celebration of the 100th anniversary of the American League.

	SITT - Dom DiMaggio
		Dom was a fine leadoff man, and one of the best centerfielders of his day; many sportswriters of the late '40s considered him as good or better than Joe, who is the standard for center fielding excellence in that period.
		Dom was the runt of the DiMaggio litter, the last male child.
		What of Giuseppe's hostility, then grudging acceptance towards the "idler's game?" When Dom was in high school, the old man was basking in Joe's reputation, and he asked Dom "When are you going to play?" Being small, he constantly had to push himself.

		Dom was an outstanding fielder and excellent leadoff man throughout the 1940's and early 1950's.
		Dom was the youngest and smallest of the DiMaggio brothers.
		Dom played in seven All-Star games and was considered the top fielding CF of the 1940's, and was often referred to as "Jesse James without a horse," because of many robberies of potential hits.

		DiMaggio attracted attention years after his retirement not just for his exploits on the diamond, but for his extraordinary traits as an American.
		DiMaggio frequently battled the Yankees over his salary and was once almost traded straight up for Williams, in what would have been the biggest deal in baseball history.
		DiMaggio won two controversial MVP awards over Ted Williams: in 1941 (by 37 votes, despite Williams'.406 average); and in 1947, (by a single vote).

		DiMaggio, who died of lung cancer Monday at age 84 at his home in Hollywood, Fla., was eulogized by his brother Dominic, the only remaining sibling of the four brothers and four sisters with whom he grew up here in North Beach.
		DiMaggio was a free agent as a teen-ager, a right he never achieved as one of the most celebrated athletes of his century.
		DiMaggio was estranged from his only child, a son who served as a pallbearer, but at the end of his 84 years, and perhaps a bit late, Joseph Paul DiMaggio revealed that ancient longing -- to come home, accompanied by the only people who matter, famiglia.

		Many of the players from that era were puzzled that DiMaggio and Pesky had not been eventually inducted by the old-timer's committee, which took a belated second look at who had made the Hall and who had not.
		A couple years ago Pesky and DiMaggio were together at the funeral of Elizabeth "Lib" Dooley, a beloved Red Sox rooter who was considered the team's foremost fan, having attended every home game from 1944 to 1999, and John had casually asked Dominic how much he had made in his best years.
		In DiMaggio's home, Italian was still spoken, and Pesky's real family name was Paveskovich, as his Croatian parents were still known, at least to themselves if not to the larger world.

		"DiMaggio, the consummate gentleman on and off the field, fought his illness as hard as he played the game of baseball and with the same dignity, style and grace with which he lived his life,'' the AP quoted Engelberg, DiMaggio's next-door neighbor.
		DiMaggio played 13 seasons with the Yankees before retiring in 1951, but his name was celebrated in song and story for decades after he stopped playing, and he projected a romance and mystique that aroused the souls and lifted the spirits of millions.
		Joseph Paul DiMaggio, the eighth of nine children, was born in Martinez, Calif., a fishing village 25 miles north of San Francisco.

		I'm convinced it was Dom's misfortune to play the same position, center field, at the same time as big brother Joe was proving to be the era's greatest right-handed hitter.
		And indeed, knowing that Dom DiMaggio summers every year in Marion, my first 28 years as an S-T photographer were filled with a certain amount of disappointment: I never had the opportunity to take his picture.
		Dom DiMaggio might have to wait for The National Baseball Hall of Fame voters to come to their senses.

		DiMaggio, The Little Professor, was one of the great center fielders of his time, his special talent being his ability to rob his big brother Joe of many a sure hit, and he was a.298 career hitter to boot.
		And Pesky, who remains as much a towering presence in Boston as the Pru or the Hancock, was a reliable shortstop who hit.307 as a player and who, with his trusty fungo bat, has gone on to bang out 3.7 million grounders to eager, young infielders.
		DiMaggio, 87, and Pesky, 85, both have long since settled down in Massachusetts, but not close enough to where they can meet up each morning to swig coffee and swap lies and argue about Feller's fastball and Greenberg's power and Rizzuto's throws from the hole.
