Joe DiMaggio: Baseball's Yankee Clipper

This is the book for the serious DiMaggio and sports-as-culture buff.

The narrative portion--there's also a bibliography and DiMaggio's baseball stats--is divided into two sections: DiMaggio's life on and off the field, and his evolving stature as a mythic figure. All rendered in sensitive, but refreshingly unsentimental prose.
