Description
1939 Play Ball Joe DiMaggio #26 PSA Mint 9 - None Higher. Joe DiMaggio baseball hero set the bar so high he carved out a path of excellence that Ted Williams would later follow. His legendary baseball life started on the West coast in the Pacific Coast League when he became a stand-out for the San Francisco Seals. Amazingly, DiMaggio belted a 61-game hitting streak; surpassing even his ML record of 56 straight games with a hit. That magical season of 1941 saw The Yankee Clipper bat .357 on 193 hits and 125 RBIs. Today, some batters strikeout 13 times in a span of a week or two. In 1941, Joe DiMaggio struck out only 13 times all season! He meant so much more to society than just a ball player, he was a hero. He was a national treasure who gave society a consistency at a time of troubling uncertainty in the world. His charmed life after baseball as one of the most popular sports figures ever, married one of Hollywood's most famous figures - Marilyn Monroe!The 1939 Play ball series is not hurting for Hall of Fame representatives--Ott, Gehringer, Hubbell and Greenberg among them--but Ted Williams and DiMaggio are far and away the set's key figures. Both you could just tell were destined for greatness. One was a rookie and DiMaggio had just three full seasons in pinstripes but was already averaging over 200 hits per season and a .331 BA. The fabled museum in Cooperstown was just opening its doors as if to accommodate the future legends.
