Joe DiMaggio is one of the few athletes who truly transcend their sport. His Hall of Fame career, leading the Yankees to nine World Series in 13 years, bridged two great eras of baseball-the post-war days of Babe Ruth and the post-integration days of Jackie Robinson. But he will always be best known as "Joltin' Joe," whose record-breaking 56 game hitting streak in 1941 captivated the country. DiMaggio's fame only grew after retirement, with his brief, but highly publicized marriage to movie star Marilyn Monroe, and frequent public appearances. The cool, classy ballplayer was immortalized in music and literature, as an enduring symbol of decency and order during a confusing era. In the words of the New York Times on the day of his retirement, DiMaggio had "something that no baseball averages can measure."Offered here is the complete "The DiMaggio Albums" with an introduction and commentary by Joe DiMaggio.
