Cute book submitted by cbrewster on July 25, 2018, 5:22pm Most people know the name Joe DiMaggio and most know that he was famous for being an amazing baseball player, but few know more. So we were pleased to learn some more personal aspects of Joe. For instance, I had know idea his name was really Giuseppe Paolo Dimaggio. I never knew that he was shy and reserved and often disliked his fame. It is amazing how successful he was without even graduating from college!
