Often described as a 'picture player' Joe DiMaggio epitomized grace on the baseball diamond-- both at bat and in center field. Many rate his 56-consecutive-game hitting streak in 1941 as the top baseball record of all time. The Yankee Clipper used an unusually wide stance in winning two batting championships and three MVP awards. In 13 seasons he amassed. 361 homers averaged 118 RBI annually and compiled a .325 lifetime batting mark. At baseball's 1969 centennial celebration he was named the game's Greatest Living Player. This 35.75 inch 35.3 oz model D29L bat is documented by factory records as having been produced specifically for DiMaggio's use during the 1950 season. 1950 saw the gallant Yankees hero continue to cement his legacy among baseball's greatest legends by leading the Bronx Bombers to their eighth of nine World Series titles during his tenure. It exhibits signs of outstanding use including numerous ball marks cleat marks and rack marks remaining uncracked. Below the barrel stamping DiMaggio has added a neatly rendered autograph in black ink. This feature is an extremely rare and desirable enhancement that elevates this gamer into elite company among the hobbys finest DiMaggio gamers.
Includes a LOA from John Taube of PSA/DNA (Grade GU8.5).
