Joe DiMaggio has always had a special place in my heart, so this post is going to be five facts (because he wore the number five) about the Yankee Clipper.
Fact #1: DiMaggio was actually married to famous movie star Marilyn Monroe. Their marriage lasted 274 days.
Fact #2: During Joltin' Joe's famous hit streak of 1941, the Yankees went 41-13-2 and would eventually go on to win the World Series.
Fact #3: Joe won a three MVPs during his Hall of Fame career (1939, 1941, and 1947), which is tied for the most MVPs won by an American Leaguer.
Fact #4: Joe DiMaggio only played one season with fellow Hall of Famer Mickey Mantle: 1951. That year was DiMaggio's last season in the Majors and Mantle's first.
Fact #5: DiMaggio, in his 13 years in the MLB, made the All Star Game every single year. He is the only Hall of Famer who is able to say that.
