When he got to the autograph table-Dimaggio looked up and said--I'm not signing this. I don't sign anything Mantle signed ahead of me. Needless to say, the guy had to get out of line-buy a baseball for $10.00 and get back in line and have it signed later that day. Enough said.

That's ridiculous. Joe D wasn't even the greatest Yankee of them all IMO. To me, that list goes..
1. Babe
2. Lou
3. Mickey
4. Joe
5. Yogi
How does that compare to other members top five?
