Summary:
"More than 350 sets of
brothers
have played in the major leagues since the 1870s. But few have had the skill, the charisma, or the success of the DiMaggio
brothers
. Joe DiMaggio, "The Yankee Clipper," is an
American
icon and one of the greatest athletes of the twentieth century. Even his chief rival, Ted Williams, called him the greatest all-around player he ever saw. But two of Joe's
brothers
, also center fielders, were dynamic players in
their
own right. Dominic, affectionately known as "The Little Professor," was a seven-time All-Star who played for the Boston Red Sox from 1940 through 1953. He hit better than .300 five times in his career, finished with a .298 average, and like his big brother, rarely struck out. And Vince DiMaggio, the eldest, made two All-Star teams and in 1941 smacked 21 home runs and drove in 100 RBIs while playing for the Pittsburgh Pirates. In The
DiMaggios
, journalist Tom Clavin draws on a wealth of source materials, interviews with family members and teammates, and in-depth reporting to reveal how
three
kids from an immigrant family of eleven found
their
way to the upper echelons of
American
sports and popular culture. A vivid portrait of a family and the ways in which
their
shifting fortunes and status shaped
their
relationships, it is also a transporting exploration of an era and a culture, using
baseball
as a lens to view and understand
American
society in the twentieth century."--From publisher.
