According to retrosheet, the score was 18-11...sorry to quibble.

Hello Joe, whatta you know?
We need a hit so here I go.
Ball one (Yea!)
Ball two (Yea!)
Strike one (Booo!)
Strike two (Kill that umpire!)
A case of Wheaties

He started baseball's famous streak
That's got us all aglow
He's just a man and not a freak,
Joltin' Joe DiMaggio.

Joe, Joe DiMaggio
We want you on our side

He tied the mark at forty-four
July the 1st you know
Since then he's hit a good twelve more
Joltin' Joe DiMaggio

Joe, Joe DiMaggio
We want you on our side

From coast to coast that's all you'll hear
Of Joe the one man show
He's glorified the horsehide sphere
Joltin' Joe DiMaggio

Joe, Joe DiMaggio
We want you on our side

He'll live in baseball's Hall of Fame
He got there blow by blow
Our kids will tell their kids his name
Joltin' Joe DiMaggio

We dream of Joey with the light brown plaque
Joe, Joe DiMaggio
We want you on our side

And now they speak in whispers low
Of how they stopped our Joe
One night in Cleveland Oh Oh Oh
Goodbye streak DiMaggio

[deadballera]

Joltin' Joe !!!

Nice Zeenut, that's about the cleanest one I have seen in several years.

Classic pose from his record-breaking year....I think his 56-game hitting streak will stand for all time.

This ain't a baseball card but still a nice photo, you wont find many photos of Joe playing first because he only played first base once.

This isn't a card (and not even baseball) but it does feature Joe doing one of his off the field hobbies. This was a magazine my Dad saved from when he was a kid (I wish he saved all those Goudeys he collected!) and I had autographed about 15 years ago at a show here in Chicago.
When it was my turn for to meet Joe he wasn't too happy when I first presented him a picture of him and Ted Williams that I already had Ted sign. He almost didn't sign it and said something to the effect of "I told him not to sign these pictures anymore"....but he did. I then gave him this magazine and his face lit up and the mood changed. He said something like "Wow...I used to do this a long time ago (meaning model trains)". He was very nice about this and shook my hand. Sorry for the long post.
