Joe DiMaggio, One of the Greatest Baseball Players of All Time

Joseph Paolo DiMaggio played a decisive role in baseball games with professional batting average of 0.325 and 520 additional blows. Joseph, well-known as Joe, is nine times of the 13 All-Star and World Series champions. He has achieved 2,214 careers, 361 professional home runs, and an amazing 1537 career. These statistics got him a place in Cooperstown (Baseball Hall of Fame) and all major US leagues. Joseph Paolo DiMaggio was born in Martinez, California on November 25, 1914.

Joe DiMaggio is one of the best batters in baseball history. DiMaggio was elected Major League All-Star team in his 13 seasons as three winners of the most valuable player awards. He is best known for his wonderful winning streak that recorded 56 consecutive victories in the 1941 season - it is still a record of over 75 years. As the story says, the reporter interviewed DiMaggio at his house and asked him to feel like such a "batted hitter". He dragged the reporter down the stairs without saying a word. In the shade of the basement, DiMaggio picked up bats and began repeating a series of practice swings. Prior to each swing he calls a specific pitch such as "fast ball, slow speed and slow speed" or "slider, inside" and adjusts his own way accordingly.

Joe DiMaggio can be said to be the best baseball player of his time, but Joe 's life is far beyond baseball diamonds. Americans all over the world meet Joe, I want to stay with him. He is regarded as a hero. His fame not only attracts ordinary people but also attracts others who know success. New Yorker declared that DiMaggio was a member of their own soon. They linked everything he had about their city ("toast" 1). Even today, DiMaggio reminds people that New York City was once considered the best city in the country ("Toast" 2)

Although Joe DiMaggio may not be the best athlete ever, his wonderful record may endure the test of time. In the early years of 1941, the legend of the New York Yankees, Jodie Maggio built the foundation of at least 56 consecutive games and built a history. During this period from May 15 to July 17, DiMaggio reached .408. Records are rarely a problem, Pete Rose is closest to 44 games since 1978. Since 2000, no one is approaching to overturn the record of DiMarzio, 38 games of the closest Jimmy Rollins in the 2005 to 2006 season. This amazing record is still inaccessible for many years and it may last forever. To overturn this record, the player has no room for errors and needs to be in the best position in his game for about two months each time he hits the ball.
