These guys were my grandfather's (Joseph James DiMaggio) cousins. He used to tell a lot of fun stories about them even though they'd never actually met and grew up on opposite sides of the country. Apparently one side of the family DiMaggio did not like the other side of the family DiMaggio, due to some not so wonderful associates of Italian descent. Was never told which side was which; but I always had my money on the side who ended up marrying Marilyn as the fun one.
