About the Author

Morris Engelberg was Joe DiMaggio’s business advisor, attorney, and confidante during the last 16 years of the ballplayer’s life. Engelberg was a devoted friend to his boyhood idol. Their close relationship gave him rare access to the private DiMaggio. Engelberg is an attorney in south Florida, specializing in tax and probate law.

Marv Schneider was a sportswriter and editor for the Associated Press for 43 years. He interviewed Joe DiMaggio several times and wrote a memorable piece for DiMaggio’s 80th birthday. Schneider broke the news of the Yankee Clipper’s death in 1999. He has been broadcasting sports stories for AP Radio since the network was established nearly 30 years ago, and he continues to serve as a correspondent. Born in Yonkers, New York, he currently lives in Fort Lee, New Jersey.
