Say what you will about the DiMaggios but they were a tour de force in major league baseball but my favorite was Dominic, who played with Ted Williams with the Boston Red Sox. During the season of '41 he said he had the bird's eye view of 4 amazing events : Joe's 56 game hitting streak, Ted William's dramatic homerun to drive in Joe Dimaggio and win the '41 All Star game (Dom was on deck) and be apart of Lefty Gomez's 300th pitching win (Dom caught the final out). Everyone remembers Joe (and a little about Vince) but Dom had an incredible career and wrote a great book about the season of '41 called "Real Grass, Real Heroes".
