Baseball Section American Icon Joe DiMaggio Dies at 84 By Bart Barnes Washington Post Staff Writer Web Posted: Monday, March 8, 1999; 9 a.m. EST Joe DiMaggio shows off a set of World Series rings at Yankee Stadium before the last game of the '98 season. The Yankees replaced his set of World Series rings, which were stolen. (AP) Joe DiMaggio, the fabled slugger and centerfielder of the New York Yankees whose superlative play on the baseball field enshrined him in the hearts of sports fans everywhere and made him a universal symbol of athletic grace and excellence, died at his home in Hollywood, Fla., shortly after midnight, said Morris Engelberg, DiMaggio's long-time friend and attorney. The Associated Press reported that his brother Dominick, two grandchildren and Joe Nacchio, his friend for 59 years, and Engelberg were at his side when he died. DiMaggio's body will be flown to Northern California for burial in his home town of San Francisco, Engelberg told the AP. "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.

Where Have You Gone Joe DiMaggio? "...it's our game; that's the chief fact in connection with it : America's game; has the snap, go, fling, of the American atmosphere; it belongs as much to our own institutions, fits into them as significantly, as our constitution's laws; is just as important in the sum total of our historic life"-Walt Whitman Joltin' Joe DiMaggio the hero that unified America. The Italian immigrant who followed America's golden paved road to greatness, playing America's game in America's most famous city, on America's most storied team, married to America's most beloved movie star. DEFINING AMERICAN HEROISM The American public, searching for heroes in the decades of Depression and war, found in Joe DiMaggio an ideal image of itself. What is it about DiMaggio that allowed him to transcend his sport and his time to secure his place in American mythology? Why did the American public at the time yearn for such a hero Has America lost the idealism that pervaded Joe DiMaggio's time What kind of heroes do we want today?

As of 8 March that was no longer possible, so the Denver Post surveyed explayers, managers, and sportswriters to anoint a successor. Their choice Willie Mays. While a quick look at the stats is impressive (the Giants outfielder was the ultimate five-tool player He could hit, hit for power, run, field, and throw), many believe what separated Mays from the others was his sheer baseball intelligence. In topping the survey, the Say Hey Kid beat out some pretty fair competition Hank Aaron, Ted Williams, and Sandy Koufax, in that order. Wired News http://www.wired.com/news/news/story/19221.html

Joe DiMaggio Quotations From Joe DiMaggio "A ball player has to be kept hungry to become a big leaguer. That's why no boy from a rich family has ever made the big leagues." "All pitchers are born pitchers." "I came up twice in the game with the bases loaded and both times I hit balls into the alley, four-hundred and fifty feet away. Home runs in any other park. Well, each time my own brother robbed me by making catches on the warning track. Instead of a possible eight RBI, or at least five or six, I got nothing. That night, Dom came over to my place for dinner. I remember letting him in the door and then not speaking to him until we were almost done eating. I was that mad." "I can remember a reporter asking me for a quote, and I didn't know what a quote was. I thought it was some kind of soft drink."

When baseball mattered the most, no one mattered as much as Joe DiMaggio By Dave Kindred The Sporting News The death of the Yankee Clipper is a jolt to a nation that reveled in his talent, his grace and his majestic presence To say aloud the man's name ... Joe DiMaggio ... is to see the world as it was, to see it in black and white, to see a strong man hidden in an old baseball uniform, so much flannel there it's flapping, NEW YORK across the grays, the entwined NY on the pinstriped whites. Say the name aloud ... Joe DiMaggio ... and you hear in its gliding rhythms the music of a time when baseball mattered the most and when the player who mattered the most was the graceful, stylish, silent son of an Italian immigrant fisherman named Giuseppe DiMaggio. Say the god's name aloud and you know, if you know anything, the truth of what the rapscallion/second baseman Billy Martin said of DiMaggio: "When he walked into the clubhouse, it was like some senator or president walking in there." Only, in DiMaggio's case, presidents invited him to dinner. Time magazine put him on the cover. He married Marilyn Monroe. Willie Mays said he wanted to grow up to be DiMaggio. Ask Pete Rose his age, he says, "Born the year of DiMaggio's streak."

Submissions Remembering the Yankee Clipper: Joe DiMaggio by Harvey Frommer Joseph Paul DiMaggio was one of nine children of a fisherman father who had emigrated from Sicily. It was all planned for Joe to become a fisherman like his father, but Joe could not abide the smell of fish and he often got seasick. His real passion was playing baseball. In 1934, he was playing baseball about as well as it could be played when his contract with the San Francisco Seals of the Pacific Coast League was purchased by the Yankees. The deal contained the clause that the graceful outfielder be allowed to play one more season for the seals. His 1935 season gave the people of San Francisco something to remember - he batted .398, recorded 270 hits, and drove in 154 runs. Permission was granted for DiMag in 1936 to drive cross-country with fellow San Franciscans Tony Lazzeri and Frank Crosetti to the Yankee spring training camp in St. Petersburg, Florida. Lazzeri turned to DiMaggio after the trio had concluded one day of driving and said, "You take over, Joe."

No man had seriously challenged Joe DiMaggio ’s 56-game hitting streak in the 37 years since he had set it in 1941. No man had ever had the consistency - the drive - the will to get a hit every day. Not until Pete Rose that is. It was in Cincinnati on June 14 th that Rose singled in the first inning off Dave Roberts of the Cubs. Quietly his streak grew, as all streaks do. First to 5 games, then 10 and 15. As he moved past 20 games and then 30, mostly with hits in his first or second at-bats, Rose was making it look easy. But it was far from easy, as Rose proved through out his career, he was a hard worker. As the streak grew, Rose spent more time in the batting cage, perfecting his craft. Soon the media took notice of the streak and a pool of reporters accompanied Rose and the Reds to every game, home and away. On July 19
