JOE DIMAGGIO DEBUT MAY 3, 1936 NEW YORK YANKEES


Joe DiMaggio played his entire 13-year career for the New York Yankees.  He is best known for his 56-game hitting streak in 1941,  a record that still stands.  In 1955, he was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame.  DiMaggio won the MVP 3 times and was selected on the all-star team 13 times (the only player to be selected for the All-Star Game in every season he played). In his thirteen year career the Yankees won ten American League pennants and nine World Series championships.
