Joe DiMaggio Memorabilia & Collectibles

Major League Baseball center fielder, Joe DiMaggio had played his entire MLB career with the New York Yankees. He was born on November 25, 1914 in Martinez, California, USA. His real name is Giuseppe Paolo DiMaggio, Jr. His nicknames are Joltin’ Joe and The Yankee Clipper.

 

He had his major league debut on May 3, 1936 with the New York Yankees. DiMaggio was able to lead the team to nine titles in thirteen long years leading to the recognition of Joe Dimaggio photomint. He is also a three-time Most Valuable Player winner and 13-time All-Star who was widely known for his feats on offense and defense and made the Joe Dimaggio photomint as a treasured item. It was on February 7, 1949 when he signed a contract with the Yankees. DiMaggio then decided to retire from playing due to some injuries that hit him. He was 36 years of age when he retired and had accomplished 361 home runs and has the sixth-highest slugging percentage with .570 in history.  Like Mickey Mantle and Babe Ruth, the Yankees retired DiMaggio's number, 5. 

 

DiMaggio became eligible for the Baseball Hall of Fame in the year 1953 but was not elected until 1955. Tom Yawkey, Boston Red Sox owner and Larry MacPhail, Yankees general manager, had agreed to trade DiMaggio for Ted Williams in 1949. DiMaggio decided to be in the United States Army Air Forces on February 17, 1943.
