MORE: 23 rare photos of Joe DiMaggio from the SN archivesIt's safe to say Daniel was impressed, comparing the 21-year-old rookie to legendary batsman Joe Jackson in a column that introduced the budding star to the American public. Unfortunately, the nickname "Shoeless Joe DiMaggio" never stuck. Fortunately, TSN used a picture of DiMaggio showing off his biceps as the art. Outstanding. Original publish date: March 26, 1936Daniel, Sizing Up Joe DiMaggio in Camp, Calls Him a Throwback to Joe JacksonBy Daniel M. DanielJoseph Paul DiMaggio, Jr., faces no easy task with the Yankees.

Hailed as the greatest minor-league star of 1935, flattered with the announcement that but for having been sold to New York, the Red Sox would have paid $60,000 for him, confronted with the fact that Yankees fans regard him as the Moses who is to lead their club out of the second-place wilderness, in which it has wandered for three years, he is more in the limelight than any other major league recruit. In fact, Giuseppe, as Bill Duncan pointed out in his comparison of highly touted phenoms from the Coast, in a recent issue of THE SPORTING NEWS, is decidedly on the spot, but from early indications, it appears he will live up to his boosters' predictions. DiMaggio certainly created a furore in his first two games with the Yankees, against the Cardinals. Sam Breadon and Frankie Frisch went into ecstasies over Giuseppe, and so did John O. Seys of the Cubs.

In the pair of contests with the Redbirds, DiMaggio got six hits for.666, smacking a tremendous triple in each. At Bradenton, the three-bagger went to the 420-foot mark on the right-center field fence. Joe followed this performance by getting four hits in a game against the Reds, March 20, giving him a total of ten hits in 16 times at bat, for the impressive mark of.625 for three games. During that period he faces three right-handers and three southpaws, getting five hits against each style of flinging, and his drives went to all fields. In his next appearance, against the Braves, Joe made two hits in four times at bat, running his total to 12 hits out of 20 trips to the plate. Then he went on the shelf for tendays, with a burn on the left foot, suffered when the diatherma treatment was applied to an injury received in a game.The Yankees bought DiMaggio at the minor league meeting in Columbus in November, 1934. Joe had injured a knee getting out of a taxicab the previous summer, and this left his future in doubt.

The New York club purchased an option to take DiMaggio for $25,000 in cash and five MLB The Show 19 players. DiMaggio was left with the Seals. Last summer, the deal was closed—much to the chagrin of the San Francisco flub, which had that offer from Eddie Collins before it. DiMaggio was born in Martinez, Cal., November 25, 1914, which makes him just past 21. He weighs 190 pounds and stands half an inch over six feet in height.
