	Joe DiMaggio - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		DiMaggio was the eighth of nine children born to Sicilian immigrants, delivered by a midwife.
		Joe was playing semi-pro ball when Vince, playing for the San Francisco Seals, talked his manager into letting his kid brother fill in at shortstop for the last three games of the 1932 season.
		DiMaggio biographer Michael Seidel reported that, except on the nights before Lefty Gomez was to pitch, Dorothy and Lefty's wife, Broadway's June O'Dea, would drag their husbands from one Manhattan nightspot to another.

		DiMaggio still ranks as the only player to win a World Series ring in his first four seasons (1936-39), but his baseball immortality will be marked by a record that most of the game's experts agree will accompany him to the grave.
		DiMaggio made a lot of people smile, as was apparent by the tributes that began pouring in minutes after his death was announced.

		March 8 — Joe DiMaggio, whose near-flawless play as a New York Yankee made him one of the greatest baseball players in the history of the game and a national legend to generations of fans, died today.

	ESPN.com: Joltin' Joe was a hit for all reasons
		Joe DiMaggio was more than the most complete all-around player of his generation.
		Joe, the eighth of nine children, was born Nov. 25, 1914, in Martinez, Calif., a small fishing village 25 miles northeast of San Francisco.

	Joltin' Joe DiMaggio
		Joe DiMaggio, the flawless center fielder for the New York Yankees who, along with Babe Ruth and Mickey Mantle, symbolized the team's dynastic greatness across the 20th century and whose 56-game hitting streak in 1941 made him an instant and indelible American folk hero, died Monday March 8, 1999, in his home in Hollywood, Florida.
		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 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.

	The Sporting News: Baseball - Joe DiMaggio
		Everywhere DiMaggio went in his final years, they introduced him last as "the greatest living ballplayer," usually because it was the right thing to do and always because he insisted on it.
		The great DiMaggio may have come to the Yankees as a shy young man. He'd grown up in a home where English was the second language and he often felt insecure because of his early difficulties academically.
		Sportswriters so admired DiMaggio, and he was so important to their work, that they largely ignored such evidence that the great man might not be all that humble.

		In time, DiMaggio came to understand that regardless of how well he did, the team (and by extension the writers, who were quasi-employees of the club) called the shots.
		The transformation of DiMaggio, from a shy, awkward teen to a womanizing, misanthropic, selfish hermit is painful to behold.
		It would seem the only reason he finally did enlist (in 1943, after Joe's local draft board had closed off enlistments) was to placate his wife, with the hopes of boosting their failed marriage.

		In Gehrig's case, Joe and he were teammates for more than 2 years before Lou took sick and left the lineup, but both Gehrig and Joe were silent souls who came to the clubhouse dressed, did their business, and left without a word beyond simple greetings.
		Joe was consistently dismissive of his brother, starting when Dom came up to the majors and Joe told his friends Dom was too small, and only got a contract on the strength of his name -- i.e., Joe's name.
		But Joe was so withdrawn, suspicious, and narrowly self-interested from the time he was a boy, that it's tempting to think he came by it honestly (in other words, genetically).

		JOE DIMAGGIO SAT ON THE TAR OF THE PLAYGROUND, with his back against the wall on the Powell Street side, his legs cocked in front of him like a couple of pickets.
		Not only was Joe her best lover by her own admission, he was the rock she turned to in times of need.
