4.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent compilation of a fantastic career.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Joe Dimaggio: An American Icon (Legends) (Hardcover)
If you are a baseball fan, then this compilation as put together by the N.Y. Daily News is a must have.The depth of their files, as shown in this book, comes through to allow those fans of Joe D. to relive both the good and not so good times of a grand career. With his passing, a certain style and grace was lost to us all. This book will go a long way in helping us remember it.
5.0 out of 5 stars
A Superb Look at the Yankee Clipper,
By Jim Lonsdale (Phoenix, AZ United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Joe Dimaggio: An American Icon (Legends) (Hardcover)
This is my favorite book on the legendary Joe DiMaggio. Part of the Daily News Legends Series it is chock full of the newspaper stories that covered Joe DiMaggio's career and life on and off the field. The stories reflect not a retrospective look at DiMaggio like most books, but rather the events as they were viewed at the time, in the language of the time. A delightful read that is accompanied by a good many photos (mostly black and white) and is sure to please any baseball fan.
