Item Description

Detailed Description
With the issuance of the MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL ALL-STARS: JOE DIMAGGIO (FOREVER®) stamps, the U.S. Postal Service recognizes one of baseball's greatest players.

The son of an immigrant fisherman, Joe DiMaggio (1914-1999)
grew up in the largely Italian North Beach area of San Francisco. He and
two of his major-league-bound brothers played on the city's sandlot
baseball fields. He dropped out of high school to become a teammate of
his older brother Vince on the San Francisco Seals of the highly
regarded Pacific Coast League. DiMaggio soon attracted the attention of
the New York Yankees, who gave up five players and $25,000 for him.

During
World War II, DiMaggio missed three full seasons while serving in the
Army. When he returned to the Yankees in 1946, he helped them claim four
more World Series titles during his six remaining seasons. His best
postwar season was 1948, when he batted .320 and hit a league-leading 39
homers and 155 RBI. During his 13-year career with the Yankees, he led
them to ten pennants and nine World Series titles and was a perennial
All-Star. He became the “face of the Yankees” as Babe Ruth and Lou
Gehrig had been before him and Mickey Mantle would be later.

DiMaggio
joined the Yankees in 1936. In 1939, he hit .381 to lead the league in
batting and won the first of his three Most Valuable Player awards. In
his first four years with the Yankees, they won four straight World
Series titles. He led the team to another World Series victory during
the legendary 1941 season of “The Streak,” a season also remembered for
the stellar .406 batting average achieved by Ted Williams of the Boston
Red Sox. A less well-known statistic is DiMaggio's incredible feat that
year of striking out a mere 13 times in 541 at bats.

DiMaggio was
inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1955. During baseball's
centenary celebration in 1969, he was voted the sport's greatest living
player. He died on March 8, 1999.
