THE RECORD-SETTING 56-GAME HITTING STREAK, SIGNED BY DIMAGGIO
(DIMAGGIO, Joe) SEIDEL, Michael. Streak: Joe DiMaggio and the Summer of '41. New York: McGraw-Hill, (1988). Octavo, original blue paper boards, original dust jacket. $1500.
First edition of this detailed account of DiMaggio's "legendary sequence," inscribed "To A— C— — Best Wishes, Joe DiMaggio."
"On a hazy Thursday afternoon in Yankee Stadium on May 15, 1941, Joe DiMaggio stepped up to the plate and slammed a solid shot to centerfield. He would get at least one base-hit in 56 consecutive games—a legendary sequence that has yet to be equaled… arguably the greatest individual achievement in baseball history." Without errata slip.
Mild toning to dust jacket spine. A nearly fine copy.
