Sorry if you took it personally but there are probably just as many Italian Americans that DO use that term as think it's a slur.

I absolutely know that you couldn't have been Joe D's close personal friend. Because if you were, you would have ranked him first not fifth !

Jimmy, actually I was closer to Marilyn Again, I meant no harm or disrespect especially to a fellow Italian. That term, however, has been associated with Mr. Dimaggio in multiple writings and even used in this thread prior to my use of it. I would actually not have used it if it wasn't associated with him in some shape or form as a nickname.
I'm glad nobody jumped on me for using the terms Babe, Mick or Whitey!
All kidding aside, I really enjoy this board and hope to continue to add to further discussions/opinions.

To Ladder7, my sister is the keeper of the family tree and has copies of all kinds of stuff....even going back to the old country. Pretty amazing actually.
