Joe, Joe DiMaggio
We want you on our side

So evocative of that age...

By the way, ironically, Paul Simon's boyhood hero was ... wait for it .... Mantle, but as he explained, he needed a lyric that fit the tune.

And another cultural reference of course, the "Great DiMaggio" of Hemingway's "The Old Man and the Sea."

Not to mention TWO of the greatest nicknames ever.
