Wow, I cant believe I actually wrote that! I am one of the biggest Dimaggio fans that I know and for me to mistype like that should have him rolling in his grave!!!.....and yeah I did have his 41 team in my head.
To me Joe, along with Jackie Robinson, reflected the way baseball should be played and represented.
Good catch and thanks for following....
