Dominic Paul DiMaggio
Dominic Paul DiMaggio born
February 12, 1917 in San Francisco, California is a former center fielder in Major
League Baseball who played his entire career for the Boston Red Sox from 1940 to
1953. An effective leadoff hitter, he batted .300 four times and led the American
League in runs twice and in triples and stolen bases once each. He also led the
AL in assists three times and in putouts and double plays twice each; he tied a
league record by recording 400 putouts four times, and his 1948 totals of 503 putouts
and 526 total chances stood as AL records for nearly thirty years. His 1338 games
in center field ranked eighth in AL history when he retired. His 34-game hitting
streak in 1949 remains a Boston club record.

|
He was the youngest of three brothers who each became major league center fielders:
Joe was a star with the rival New York Yankees, and Vince played for five National
League teams. The youngest of nine children born to Sicilian immigrants, Dom's small
stature (5'9") and eyeglasses earned him the nickname "The Little Professor".

of Fame in 1995.
