Description
This is the book for the serious DiMaggio and sports-as-culture buff. [Moore] . . . has sifted throught most of what has been written and rumored about the Yankee Clipper in newspapers, magazines, books and even songs. The narrative portion--there's also a bibliography and DiMaggio's baseball stats--is divided into two sections: DiMaggio's life on and off the field, and his evolving stature as a mythic figure. All rendered in sensitive, but refreshingly unsentimental prose. USA Today
Anyone serious about building an excellent baseball library or interested in the role of sports in American society should get a copy of this book. . . . An excellent and well-researched book. The Sporting News
