According to many eye witnesses, DiMaggio was the best all-around player of his time. He could hit, hit for power, throw, field, and run and most importantly, he was a winner: playing on ten pennant winners and failing to win the World Series just once ten tries. He retired when he could have played a few more years and won some more titles. But that wasn't his style. He moved aside to make way for Mickey Mantle. Their time together was brief, but successful, culminating in Joe’s last and Mickey’s first of many World Series titles. The legend and the protégé’ are captured together in this photo stamped by AP/Wide World on back. Each has signed it in blue sharpie, rating 9 out of 10. NM condition. Includes full LOAs from both PSA/DNA and JSA.
