Limited edition (Volume 48 in the Great World Series Program Collection). One of 1,000 numbered copies, this being number 732. Signed by DiMaggio in blue marker on front wrapper. Publisher's red wrappers, with Grant Powers illustration to front wrapper, lettered in white and black, and Lucky Strike advertisement to rear wrapper. Fine, with just a hint of wear to corners. Overall, a beautiful copy. As this program states: "With the exception of this title page, and the section entitled Commentary (courtesy Fred Lieb), this publication is an exact reproduction of the 1937 World Series Program sold at Yankee Stadium, New York for the 1937 games between the New York Yankees and the New York Giants." In the 1937 World Series, the Yankees defeated the Giants for the second straight year, four games to one. In the series, DiMaggio batted .273, and hit an important solo home run in game five to help the team clinch victory. Joe DiMaggio played all thirteen seasons of his career with the New York Yankees and was selected as an All-Star thirteen times. With his exemplary hitting and fielding (he was nicknamed "The Yankee Clipper" because of how he sailed around the outfield) he helped power the Yankees to nine World Series titles. He holds the record for the longest hitting streak, at 56 games, which is considered one of the most statistically remarkable records in all of sports. Outside of baseball, he was known for his high-profile marriage with Marilyn Monroe. DiMaggio was one of the rare athletes that transcended his sport: his association with a bygone era of America was noted in Simon and Garfunkel's Grammy Award-winning song, "Mrs. Robinson." Ted Williams said, "His career cannot be summed up in numbers and awards. It might sound corny, but he had a profound impact on the country.".
