DiMaggio recalls two memorable moments in baseball career
Joe DiMaggio recalls his two most memorable moments not from his own play but from experiences off the field. He recalls his first spring training trip with the Yankees and the dramatic 1951 Polo Grounds game where Bobby Thomson’s homer sparked the Giants pennant drive. He notes the ensuing 1951 World Series end and his own 0-for-13 start before a late rally and standing ovation in Yankee Stadium.
