@@spanky9676 Dude, what’s Orr going to say ? “ Yeah, I was the best “ ? On top of being the best ever ( name me another defenseman to lead the league in scoring ) he was also the consummate gentleman and class athlete. He would never include himself in a conversation about “the best.” If some NHL scumbags didn’t go after his knees instead of the puck, limiting his years and efficiency, his legend would even be larger, if one could imagine that. He redefined the game.
He was a great player, one of the greatest. I dont know about this representing "what America is all about" stuff...he was aloof and remote by almost all who knew him.
Actually only lost 3 yrs to military service. 1943,44,45. Played a full 154 games in ‘42 and returned to play 132 games in ‘46. Hazardous duty in Hawaii, Southern California and Atlantic City as P.E. Instructor.
@@gynandroidhead Let’s get this straight. DiMaggio spent three years in the military service, mostly doing very safe public appearances in Hawaii and Southern California. Mr. Williams was in the ACTIVE service from ‘42 thru ‘45 in actual combat action as a very decorated Navy fighter pilot, then was called back in ‘52 thru ‘53 to fight on the lines as a US Marine in Korea. This guy wasn’t some woosie performer in the safety of Hawaii and SoCal, he was in live wartime action for his entire two tours. Got it now ? Foto op guy vs. true American hero.
@@davidmaynard1530 You're completely and totally missing my point, and you are drawing conclusions based on what my post DIDN'T state. I've met both of these men on more than one occasion. Ted Williams had the mentality and abilities to be an asset in military service, so much so that in his second stint he had to relearn to fly jets. Joe DiMaggio wasn't one of those players. The government was so worried to have anything happen to DiMaggio that he gave him soft duties, and trust me - many soldiers were thrilled that DiMaggio wasn't out in combat with everyone's lives on the line. My point is that he would served to boost the morale of this country better if he remained with the Yankees if the military's MO was to treat him with velvet gloves. As a by-product, it would've served Joe DiMaggio better as well.
@@gynandroidhead Well, my friend, I’ve collected sports memorabilia for over 40 years, have been to dinner with DiMaggio at least twice and have talked at length with the true hero countless time. Not only did Williams not need retraining ( he was introduced to new planes and flew with President Bush as his backup ) he was actually a flight instructor. I suspect I’m writing to a Yankee fan who has his rose colored glasses firmly in place. I’m stating actual facts of the two men, and not just wild guesses and opinions that you are spewing. Check your facts, sir, before you go about making a larger fool of yourself. DiMaggio did what many players with no military skills did, and that was @ 3 yrs of photo ops. Williams was on the front lines fighting for our country, just like Bob Feller and several other REAL heroes. Like Stengel said : You can look it up !!
Didn't I just pay Ted Williams a massive compliment for his heroism and amazing acumen? Didn't I just say that DiMaggio would've been a train wreck in combat? You're nit-picking. Of course guys like Ted Williams, Bob Feller and the likes are TRUE war heroes. The No one is calling DiMaggio scene hero. By the way, what is your view about Stan Musial playing through most of the war and only missing one season?
@@TheBatugan77 By the way, how are your Yankees doing, anyway ? Pretty much the choke team of the new century. Big Game Cole, Loser Chapman, Useless Stanton and Huge Money Hicks. What a stinking toilet team. Mt.Flushmore
the biggest strike out Joe DiMaggio ever experienced was a marriage to Americas sweetheart Marilyn MonrHoe . he lost the ball , the field and the game when he said "I do" to her.

What a asshole would call him a bum. It was not his fault that his body breaking down. What most of you assholes out there, is he played in the hardest ballpark, the old Yankee Stadium. If he was playing these days in these little parts, only God What his stats would be. Before you assholes make stupid statement, without knowing the facts.

Joe. D. Was and is a true legend and hero of his time and totally respected from all fans and. Player. No 5.
Struck out 14 times in 1941! Lost 4 years of his prime due to the sevice!
‘43,’44 and ‘45 are, in fact, NOT 4 years, professor.

Less than an hour.

In my opinion only Maurice Richard has an aura like Joe DiMaggio.
Psssh. Who cares about talk-show hosts? Heh hehehe.
Who cares about opera?
I hate the yankees always will but....this man was grace in motion awesome ballplayer !
A tremendous player... a very flawed human.
