Selections from Public and Private Collections Celebrating the Baseball Career of Joe DiMaggio. New York, 1989. Two volumes. Quarto, original full blue morocco, blue cloth slipcase. $2200 Signed limited first edition, number 603 of 700 sets signed by DiMaggio on the limitation page in Volume I. Joltin’ Joe developed from “a gawky, awkward kid” to one of the game’s most graceful athletes— a “picture player” both at bat and in center field. Many rate DiMaggio’s 56-consecutive-game hitting streak in 1941 as the top baseball feat of all time. This two-volume commemorative album contains over 800 pages of newspaper accounts, photos and reproductions of memorabilia from DiMaggio’s incomparable career, with an introduction and commentary by DiMaggio himself, and signed by him. Fine condition.
