Fox News
Joe DiMaggio, who dominated with the New York Yankees on the baseball diamond and was larger than life off the field, died on this day in history, March 8, 1999.
"Joltin' Joe" DiMaggio was a nine-time World Series champion, three-time American League MVP and, most memorably on the field, hit safely in 56 straight games in 1941 — an incredible record of consistency which has never been approximated since. "When New York saw itself as the center of the world, he was its paragon of class." — Richard Ben Cramer on Joe DiMaggio "I’ll finally get to see Marilyn." — DiMaggio's disputed last words "Where have you gone, Joe DiMaggio? Our nation turns its lonely eyes to you." — Simon & Garfunkel in "Mrs. Robinson" Kerry J. Byrne is a lifestyle reporter with Fox News Digital.
DiMaggio died, according to some accounts, whispering the name of his life-long love and ex-wife, also an American idol, Marilyn Monroe.
