Joe DiMaggio autographed official American League baseball

Item Number:  1998

Joe DiMaggio is remembered as one of the game's most graceful athletes - a "picture player" both at bat and in center field. Many rate his 56-consecutive-game hitting streak in 1941 as the top baseball feat of all time. "The Yankee Clipper" used an unusually wide stance in winning two batting championships and three MVP awards.

In 13 seasons he amassed 361 homers, averaged 118 RBI annually and compiled a .325 lifetime batting mark. At baseball's 1969 Centennial Celebration, he was named the game's greatest living player. Joe passed away in 1999 but his memory lives on.

This exceptionally rare item of memorabilia is an Official American League baseball autographed by Joe DiMaggio. It is displayed in a presentation case with plaque and has been fully authenticated.

It originates from a private collector and similar items are currently being sold at around 0 (£529 approx). It is therefore a great opportunity to obtain a rare item of memorabilia from a sporting legend, Joe DiMaggio.
