I liked reading this biography on the three DiMaggio brother who played major league baseball with different levels of success and fame. Many of the stories about Joltin' Joe I'd heard about or read before, but Vince and Dominic were largely unknown to me. Ted Williams also gets a fair amount of coverage. Joe is the loneliest and most unhappy brother while the youngest Dominic plays the family peacemaker and is the smartest brother. I like how we get the personal story (for the most part balanced) about each brother and not just another rundown on their baseball careers. This easy-to-read, insightful biography is a fun outing for the fans of the sport. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

Dom was also a tremendous business success in his post-baseball career, and proved to be a generous, gracious man who was active in charities. Not the same could be said for Joe, who only became more arrogant, sullen, paranoid, and embittered. ( )
