Often confused with asocial which is used to describe people who are shy, introverted, or otherwise avoid socializing or social situations.

Antisocial: Against society

Asocial: Avoid society
I guess it all depends on what dictionary one uses, or the true meaning, or the meaning as I understood it, has changed?

Either way, Snapolit was referring to Dimaggio as someone who avoided social situations or interactions with others, he was not referring to him as someone the way you are understanding what antisocial is.
