Default Name that player (Hint, it's not Joltin Joe....)
I bought this 1952 biography of Joe Dimaggio. I was pleased to get a fairly unique title (I'd never seen it before) but I think the editors got the cover photo screwed up.

Any guesses?

Not Rizzuto.

First hint: he's not Italian.

Gehrig it i!

The book cover illustration is complicated by the bad crop around his nose. Here's the same photo inside the book

You'd think someone doing a biography on DiMaggio would know that he hit right handed.

Here's a crop of the book cover shot of Gehrig. The cropping makes me look like a Photoshop professional

Dan

Now that i've brushed up on Italian, I see the book is an instructional rather than a DiMaggio bio. Joe was thus the "author" rather than the subject of the book
