	Dom DiMaggio - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Dominic Paul DiMaggio (born February 12, 1917 in San Francisco, California) is a former center fielder in Major League Baseball who played his entire career for the Boston Red Sox from 1940 to 1953.
		In 1949 DiMaggio batted.307 with 126 runs, and had his team-record 34-game hitting streak; ironically, the streak was ended on August 9 by an outstanding catch made by his brother Joe.
		In 1950 DiMaggio led the AL in runs (131), triples (11) and stolen bases (15) while hitting a career-high.328; on June 30 he and Joe hit home runs while playing against one another, becoming the fourth pair of brothers to homer in the same game.

	Joe DiMaggio, Jr - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Joseph Paul DiMaggio III (October 23, 1941 in New York City - August 6, 1999 in Antioch, California) was the only child of baseball legend Joe DiMaggio.
		The elder DiMaggio was the Jr., named for his father, Giuseppe, but the younger DiMaggio was the one known as Junior.
		His uncle Dominic was also a pallbearer, and barely spoke to his brother before he got sick.

	The American Experience \| Joe DiMaggio: A Hero's Life \| Special Features: What Made DiMaggio a Great Player?
		DiMaggio knew that there are five things a baseball player is paid to do: run the bases, catch a ball, throw a ball, hit a ball, and hit a ball a country mile.
		DiMaggio’s breadth of skills was carried from one season to the next by his consistency.
		DiMaggio’s consistency impresses even more when you consider his twisted ankles, the bone spurs in his feet that required surgery, a shoulder that dislocated routinely and a bad back that also went under the knife.

		The youngest and smallest of the three DiMaggio brothers, the bespectacled centerfielder was a perennial All-Star with the Red Sox for 11 seasons, missing three years of his prime because of WWII.
		Twice DiMaggio, together with Ted Williams, was part of a.300-hitting outfield, once in his rookie year of 1940 with Doc Cramer in right field, and again 10 years later in 1950 with Al Zarilla in right.
		DiMaggio's first inning HR off Mel Parnell is all the scoring needed, as the Bombers win 8—0.

	Excerpt \| The Teammates: A Portrait of Friendship by David Halberstam
		In early October 2001, Dominic DiMaggio and Johnny Pesky begin a 1,300-mile trip by car to visit their beloved teammate Ted Williams, knowing that he is dying.
		That was particularly true in the case of Dominic DiMaggio, who had been an All Star seven times; Williams himself believed that it was a travesty that Dominic was not in the Hall.
		Dominic DiMaggio, it was true, had an offer of a college education -- he had always done well academically -- but he went to work instead.

		Dominic was the better of the two siblings, starring with the Red Sox, earning All-Star status and Hall of Fame support from teammate Ted Williams.
		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).

	Joltin' Joe DiMaggio
		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.
		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 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.

		DiMaggio last appeared in public Sept. 27, 1998, when he was honored at "Joe DiMaggio Day" and presented with replicas of his nine World Series rings (which had been stolen from a hotel room decades earlier).
		DiMaggio was temporarily entombed March 11, 1999, in his family mausoleum at the Holy Cross Cemetery in Colma, Calif. The San Francisco Catholic Diocese said a permanent mausoleum for DiMaggio was to be built later.
		DiMaggio's son, Joseph III (DiMaggio, named after his dad, was the Jr.), died of "natural causes" after years of drug abuse.

		DiMaggio, the son of an immigrant Italian fisherman and the hero known to generations as the Yankee Clipper and Joltin' Joe, was the star of the Yankees during baseball's golden era.
		DiMaggio's only child, Joseph Paul DiMaggio Jr., will be one of the pallbearers carrying the casket from the church after the service.
		DiMaggio's ties to San Francisco also include his marriage there in 1954 to screen siren Marilyn Monroe, a union that lasted less than a year.

	Eclipsing DiMaggio a fitting eulogy
		DiMaggio struck out only five times during the streak and kept it on life-support with a hit in his last at-bat nine times.
		DiMaggio's individual feat also helped the Yankees, who went 41-13-2 during the streak and moved from five games out of first to six games ahead of Cleveland, win their ninth World Series.
		When the 84-year-old DiMaggio passed away two months ago, after losing a battle with lung cancer, memories of "The Streak" were reborn and a new era of ballplayers were introduced to a hallmark of baseball lore.

		He got 117 in '53 (good for 8th place on the ballot), was on 69.4% of the ballots the next year, and then got elected in '55.
		On Williams vs DiMaggio, say, this means that 1/7th of their home stats should be added to their away stats.
		"In the fifties and sixties, it was fashionable to refer to baseball as a metaphor for America, and DiMaggio represented the values of that America: excellence and fulfillment of duty (he often played in pain), combined with a grace that implied a purity of spirit, an off-the-field dignity, and a jealously guarded private life.

		It was a conversation where the genuine love and affection Doerr, DiMaggio and Pesky have for each other -- and for their spiritual leader, Ted Williams -- was as obvious as Fenway Park's Green Monster.
		It was a conversation which resulted from Doerr, DiMaggio and Pesky having been rescued from baseball oblivion, as Halberstam related a 2001 automobile ride by DiMaggio and Pesky from Massachusetts to Florida to visit a seriously-ill Williams.

		In 1937 DiMaggio led the American League in home runs and runs scored, and in 1939 and 1940 he led the American League in batting, with averages of.381 and.352.
		DiMaggio was a very consistent hitter; early in his career, during his 1933 season with the Seals, he had a hitting streak of 61 consecutive games.
		Indeed, he played his position in center field with such languid expertise that some ill-informed fans thought he was lazy--he rarely had to jump against the outfield wall to make a catch or dive for balls, he was simply there to catch them.

		Morris Engelberg, DiMaggio's close friend and attorney, said the Hall of Famer wanted a private religious service and that his family was determined to follow his wishes.
		In addition to DiMaggio's son, other pallbearers were Roger Stein and James Hamra, the husbands of DiMaggio's two granddaughters; Joseph DiMaggio, son of the ballplayer's late brother, Mike; Joe Nacchio, a friend of DiMaggio's for 59 years; and Engelberg.

		I think he thought that he was a better hitter than DiMaggio, but that DiMaggio was a better all-around player.
		Dominic, to me, is an extremely elegant man with an utterly admirable family life -- a great richness there -- I think he and Emily have been married something like 55 years.

		Both DiMaggio and Pesky lost three years during the prime of their careers to serve in World War II (Doerr served one year) and statistically speaking, neither belongs in the Hall of Fame.
		However, especially in DiMaggio’s case, if those three years are factored with their average numbers from the season before and after they left, it becomes a different argument all together.
		Doerr and DiMaggio are 86 and 87 years old, respectively, yet both seem as full of energy as Pesky, who still hits fungos before Red Sox games.

		DiMaggio played his entire career next to Williams in the outfield.

		And they all seemed to realize that one of the main reasons that their friendship was so strong was because of Ted; he was the driving force with his generous and dominating personality.

		The other three had encountered Pesky first not as a peer, and up-and-coming young shortstop with uncommon bat control who could hit to all fields, but instead as the boyish clubhouse attendant who worked in the locker room for the Portland Beavers in the PCL.
		Dominic DiMaggio, it was true, had an offer of a college education – he had always done well academically – but he went to work instead.
