Joltin' Joe

Thanks for the word on the upcoming biog of Joe D! I will look for it. Di Maggio was always, I mean always, my father's favorite player. Charlie Gehringer was next, but not close to Joe. If someone made a great play, my dad's comment was immediately, "Di Maggio would have had it in his hip pocket."

I'll be interested in the Joe D biog, esp in light of the many negative comments from players I've read. Oh, they acknowledge his great play; it was his personality that grated.

Thanks.
