Joe DiMaggio was an American professional baseball player, widely regarded as one of the greatest center fielders in the history of the sport. He played his entire Major League Baseball career for the New York Yankees from 1936 to 1951. DiMaggio was known for his exceptional hitting, defensive skills, and iconic 56-game hitting streak in 1941, which remains a record. In addition to his athletic achievements, DiMaggio was a three-time MVP and a 13-time All-Star. He helped lead the Yankees to ten World Series championships, solidifying his legacy as a key figure in baseball history. After retiring, he became a cultural icon, partly due to his marriage to actress Marilyn Monroe.
