Say it ain't so, fake Joe...
I was given this book quite a while ago and was thrilled that it was autographed by Joe DiMaggio, but i never gave it much thought and it just sat in a closet in a pile with other books. But today I took it out to give it a good look, and now I just have to laugh!!
dimaggio.jpg First of all, it looks nothing even remotely close to Joltin' Joe's autograph and from a quick on-line search I found the book was published in 2000, the year AFTER DiMaggio passed away. But the funniest part is the inscription. It says, "To John Hello, old pal, I remember the times, you(?) had with Jackie Gleason and Art Carney Give regards, to Mike Conklin(?) and Sherman (last name?) and all my friends from R.P.(?)" Besides the extremely bizarre use of commas, why in heck would someone forge an autograph and go on to mention the stars of 'The Honeymooners' in the inscription??? This person must have/had some serious frickin' mental issues. Holy cow, I can't stop laughing!!!!!!!!!
