Synopsis
JOE DIMAGGIO: AN INFORMAL BIOGRAPHY by George De Gregorio (former sportswriter for the New Haven Register and Hartford Courant newspapers) focuses primarily on The Yankee Clipper's baseball career. The book opens with DiMaggio's 56 game hitting streak (in 1941), then flashes back to a synopsis of his childhood. The rest is baseball: two years with the San Francisco Seals, followed by a recap of 13 stellar major league seasons. There's little mention of Joe's two marriages to actresses Dorothy Arnold and Marilyn Monroe-- in fact more details can be gleaned on DiMaggio's male friendships (with Toots Shor and others) than his home life.
