About this listen

From fisherman's sons to baseball legends, the DiMaggio brothers embodied the American Dream in San Francisco's Italian community. Giuseppe DiMaggio initially opposed his sons' baseball pursuits, preferring they join the family fishing business. Joe became "The Yankee Clipper" with his legendary 56-game hitting streak and marriage to Marilyn Monroe. Dom starred for the Boston Red Sox as a cerebral leadoff hitter often overshadowed by his famous brother. Vince journeyed through five teams as a power hitter prone to strikeouts. The emotional Yankees-Red Sox rivalry featured brothers competing against each other while maintaining their family bond, representing different paths to success in America's national pastime.
