No other man represents baseball's Golden Age better than the Yankee Clipper. No other source can better capture the glory of those days than the Daily News. From the very beginning of Joe DiMaggio's career to his passing in 1999, the Daily News was there to cover his life and career. This book covers Joe's entire career, plus the public aspects of his relationship with Marilyn Monroe, his family, and his life after baseball.
