Thanks Ted.

Here's a pic pulled from the internet.

Also, Joe was right handed, and it sure looks like he's batting lefty in that picture. (Unless he's just standing there with the bat over his shoulder.)

Thanks for posting the 1936 photo. Check-out George Selkirk (uniform #3), who replaced Babe Ruth in Right-Field in 1935.

Kinda strange seeing somebody other than Babe Ruth wearing #3 for the Yankees.

New York Yankees ... Joe DiMaggio #9 & George Selkirk #3

New York Giants ... Joe Moore #1 & Travis Jackson #6
