Why is there no talk or card posting of Joe DiMaggio?

Ok, I will have to take the pic. I guess you are talking about the one that says "insert link", because the other paper clip says "remove link". So, I will try this a little later, for sure. I'll put up the 39 Play ball too.

And thanks!

Well, I've got to figure out how to rotate this pic! But here's the front of the Joe DiMaggio Bowery card...

There's got to be a simpler way anyway. If I'm taking the pic from my camera, how would I transfer it here? I'm a bit challenged when it comes to this whole 21st century technology thing. If you can give me any more pointers, I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks - Gannon

I cropped and rotated it in the free Paint program on my laptop.

I am not very tech savvy myself. I know there are other ways but I take a pic with my phone and email it to myself and save it to my computer. I have posted directly from my phone but it is a PIA with the small screen.

Yeah, I do the same thing where I email it to myself and then download it to my computer. Ok, thanks. I'm going to keep working on this. I'd like to put up the Play Ball, and another item which might be a little different.

I've posted this before, but it's always worth seeing again for a laugh. This 'autographed' Dimag biography was given to my Dad, who (a long time ago) gave it to me. In looking at it again for the first time in many years, I realized there was no way in heck that Joltin' Joe signed it. Plus, I believe it came out in 2000, the year AFTER he died. And why would someone forging a signature include a mention of Jackie Gleason and Art Carney in the inscription?? Huh?? Wish I had some sort of time machine that would allow me to see who actually signed this tome and why...

And here is a sign adorning the building out here that now occupies the site of (next door to?) Joe D's birthplace...

If you are asking about an actual camera - you know - the ancient 20th century type device, if it is relatively new, it should have the capability of saving images on a micro card/disk, which you then unplug and insert into the same type of slot on your computer and view it with any simple photo or graphics program that is resident on your computer. Then manipulate it, rotate it or whatever, save it and upload it here. On the other hand, if you are asking about a camera/phone, sorry, I can't suggest anything, as I'm also stuck in the last century as far as that goes.

Yeah, I don't have a regular camera or anything. I've just been having a tough time with this phone. For some reason, all my pics are coming out wrong. They're all tlited to the left, and when I rotate them, they don't rotate. Frustrating!

At any rate, I wanted to post some pics of these matches that my Father picked up for me at Joe DiMaggio's restaurant on Fisherman's Wharf in San Francisco almost 50 years ago. They're really nice.

I'm a DiMaggio collector. Truthfully, I collect just about anything that catches my attention but, over time, DiMaggio items have come on board more often than any other so I figured out I must be a "DiMaggio collector."
This just arrived a couple days ago...DiMaggio rounding 3rd after a homer in '47. Frank Crosetti is coaching 3rd.

I watched Mr. DiMaggio in public on just one occasion. He seemed businesslike, somewhat tight-lipped and, perhaps, a bit surly. My father met him in Las Vegas in the mid 60's. He called it the most "unbelievable encounter with any type of celebrity he ever had". He said that DiMaggio was in a great mood and even posed for a couple of pictures with folks who appeared to know him. He was expecting a very prim and proper man and said DiMaggio used language he would have never imagined. I had an opportunity to meet and speak with Dom DiMaggio at the Italian American Sports HOF when I was a teen. He was as kind a person as I ever met in my life.
