Really sad news for Red Sox Nation. Last I heard, He was was living one town over from me in Marion, MA, enjoying a quiet retirement. Dom was a real gentleman, he will be missed.

I had a feeling this was coming soon.
I've been sending him a card and auto request to both addresses for the past year with all being RTS. With Knowing him to be a good signer TTM for donations to B.A.T. , I figured he must be in poor health. RIP and God be with the family.

He was a real class act and a gentleman. Never did see him play but he was my Dad's favorite player and to this day, my Dad glows when talking about him. Rest in peace Dom.

Dom DiMaggio
Lefty O'Doul was Dom's Manager and hitting instructor in the late 1930's in the PCL playing with the
SF Seals. Dom batted .361 in 1939 and was the PCL's MVP. In the Summer of 1949, Dom started a 34-game hitting streak (a Red Sox record) that sparked the Beantown rivalry with the Yankees, in one of BB's most exciting seasons. It culminated in the Oct 2nd playoff game between Boston and NY in which the Yankees won the AL pennant. ![[linked image]](http://i603.photobucket.com/albums/tt113/zanted86/1941domdimagodoul1950.jpg) David Halberstam's "Summer of '49" completely covers this exciting season....I very highly recommend this book. You don't have to be a Red Sox or Yankees fan to enjoy reading it, as he covers both leagues in his story. TED Z Last edited by tedzan; 05-09-2009 at 06:05 PM.
