For all New York Yankees and Joe DiMaggio fans, this limited edition salvino action figure is a must-have.
Joe DiMaggio, nicknamed
"Joltin' Joe", "the Yankee Clipper" and "Joe D.", played center field his entire 13-year Major
League career for the New York Yankees. Born to Italian immigrants in California, he
is widely considered one of the greatest baseball players of all time and is
best known for setting the record for the longest
hitting streak in baseball (56 games from May 15 – July 16,
1941), which still stands today. At the time of his retirement
after the 1951 season, he ranked fifth in career home runs (361) and sixth in career slugging
percentage (.579). When remarking on his retirement to the Sporting News on December 19, 1951, he said "I feel like I have reached the stage where I can no longer produce for my club, my manager, and my teammates. I had a poor year, but even if I had hit .350, this would have been my last year. I was full of aches and pains, and it had become a chore for me to play. When baseball is no longer fun, it's no longer a game, and so, I've played my last game".
He was inducted into the Baseball Hall
of Fame in 1955 and was voted the sport's greatest living
player in a poll taken during baseball's centennial year of 1969. His
brothers Vince and Dom also were major league center
fielders. Outside of baseball, DiMaggio is also widely known for his marriage
and life-long devotion to Marilyn Monroe. With a height of 10 inches, it is the perfect addition to any collection. The figure comes with a certificate of authenticity and is numbered 1063 out of 2500.
The officially licensed product features a facsimile autograph, making it a great display piece for any fan of Major League Baseball. The figure is in excellent condition and comes in its original box. This is an opportunity not to be missed for any collector or fan of Joe DiMaggio and the New York Yankees.
