Contains more than one thousand lots, many accompanied by color photographs. "The collection covered the life and career of Joe DiMaggio beginning with his roots in San Francisco, continuing with his storied years with the New York Yankees, and culminating with his post career days as a baseball ambassador and revered cultural icon. Joe DiMaggio was one of the most respected and honored men in the history of American sport. He was equally lauded as an important citizen who had a profound impact on the country during a formative period in American history. While Joe DiMaggio’s lifetime accomplishments are many, he is possibly most respected for his voluntary entry into the U.S. Military during World War II for which he sacrificed several years during the prime of his playing career to serve his country.
