I guess it all depends on what dictionary one uses, or the true meaning, or the meaning as I understood it, has changed?

Either way, Snapolit was referring to Dimaggio as someone who avoided social situations or interactions with others, he was not referring to him as someone the way you are understanding what antisocial is.

I understand about Joe D having dealt with him several times in the 1980s and 1990s and I agree with you. He was like that his whole life and didn't develop that characteristic as he got older , but I think it became more intense after he married MM and her death .

Does he fit the definition ?
Not that he would be my choice to spend with and talk to .
