Dimaggio to Remain With Yankees as TV Commentator
Joe DiMaggio, at 37 and thin, plans to stay with the New York Yankees in a TV commentator role after announcing retirement as a player, manager, or coach. Yankee President Dan Topping says he has been offered the post, potentially paying $50,000 yearly for three years, with a decision expected next week after he leaves for San Francisco. DiMaggio cites old injuries and night baseball as reasons for retirement, praising Casey Stengel and noting Mickey Mantle may inherit his center field job.
