CERTIFICATE OF REGISTRY OF MARRIAGE BETWEEN JOSEPH PAUL DIMAGGIO AND NORMA JEAN DOUGHERTY AKA MARILYN MONROE AS FILED WITH THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA, CITY AND COUNTY OF SAN FRANCISCO ON JANUARY 14, 1954.

Joseph Paul "Joe" DiMaggio (November 25, 1914 – March 8, 1999), nicknamed "Joltin' Joe" and "The Yankee Clipper," was an American Major League Baseball center fielder who played his entire 13-year career for the New York Yankees. He is perhaps best known for his 56-game hitting streak (May 15–July 16, 1941), a record that still stands.[1] DiMaggio was elected into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1955.

DiMaggio was a three-time MVP winner and 13-time All-Star (the only player to be selected for the All-Star Game in every season he played). In his thirteen year career the Yankees won ten American League pennants and nine World Series championships.

At the time of his retirement, he had the fifth-most career home runs (361) and sixth-highest slugging percentage (.579) in history. A 1969 poll conducted to coincide with the centennial of professional baseball voted him the sport's greatest living player.[2]

Joe DiMaggio was the middle of three brothers who each became major league center fielders, the others being Vince and Dom.

According to her autobiography, Marilyn Monroe originally did not want to meet DiMaggio, fearing he was a stereotypical arrogant athlete. They eloped at San Francisco City Hall on January 14, 1954.

DiMaggio biographer Richard Ben Cramer asserts that their marriage was filled with "violence".[citation needed] One typical forceful incident occurred immediately after the skirt-blowing scene in The Seven Year Itch which was filmed on September 14, 1954, in front of New York's Trans-Lux Theater. Then-20th Century Fox's East Coast correspondent Bill Kobrin told the Palm Springs Desert Sun that it was Billy Wilder's idea to turn the shoot into a media circus. The couple then had a "yelling battle" in the theater lobby.[28] She filed for divorce on grounds of mental cruelty 274 days after the wedding.

On August 1, 1956, International News wire photo of DiMaggio with Lee Meriwether speculated that the couple was engaged, but Cramer wrote that it was a rumor started by Walter Winchell. Monroe biographer Donald Spoto wrote that DiMaggio was "very close to marrying" 1957 Miss America Marian McKnight, who won the crown with a Marilyn Monroe act, but McKnight denied it.[29] He was also linked to Liz Renay, Cleo Moore, Rita Gam, Marlene Dietrich, and Gloria DeHaven during this period, and to Elizabeth Ray and Morgan Fairchild years later, but he never publicly confirmed any involvement with any woman.

DiMaggio re-entered Monroe's life as her marriage to Arthur Miller was ending. On February 10, 1961, he secured her release from Payne Whitney Psychiatric Clinic. She joined him in Florida where he was a batting coach for the Yankees. Their "just friends" claim did not stop remarriage rumors from flying. Reporters staked out her apartment building. Bob Hope "dedicated" Best Song nominee "The Second Time Around" to them at the 33rd Academy Awards.

According to Maury Allen, DiMaggio was so alarmed at how Monroe had fallen in with people he felt detrimental to her well-being, he quit his job with a military post-exchange supplier on August 1, 1962, to ask her to remarry him; she was found dead on August 5. DiMaggio's son, Joe Jr., had spoken to Monroe on the phone the night of her death and had claimed she seemed fine.[30] Her death was deemed a probable suicide but has been the subject of numerous conspiracy theories. Devastated, he claimed her body and arranged her funeral, barring Hollywood's elite. He had a half-dozen red roses delivered three times a week to her crypt for 20 years.[31] Unlike her other two husbands or others who knew her (or claimed to), he refused to talk about her publicly or otherwise exploit their relationship. He never married again.

THE WAS THE BASEBALL SUPERSTAR AND SHE WAS THE PERSONIFICATION OF THAT HOLLYWOOD GLAMOR WITH AN UNPARALLELED GLOW AND ENERGY AND SEX APPEAL THAT ENAMORED THE WORLD.

UNFORTUNATELY , THAT FAME AND SEXUAL IMAGE BECAME THE THEME THAT HAUNTED THEIR MARRIAGE WHICH ENDED IN DIVORCE 9 SHORT MONTHS LATER.

THE LOVE OF JOE AND MARILYN MONROE ENDURED EVEN AFTER THEIR BREAK UP AND EVEN AFTER HER DEATH.

TO THE DAY HE DIED JOE ALWAYS PUT A ROSE ON HER GRAVE.

TRULY A BEAUTIFUL LOVE STORY FOR ALL TIME.

 

JOE DIMAGGIO WAS ONE OF THE GREATEST PLAYERS TO EVER PLAY THE GAME AND REIGNED AS KING OF THE NEW YORK YANKEES BASEBALL FOR OVER 60 YEARS. THIS IS A MUST HAVE FOR ANY COLLECTOR OF YANKEE OR BASEBALL OR MOVIE  MEMORABILIA.
