Joe DiMaggio
Joe DiMaggio, a renowned baseball player in U.S., had a different, unique family background that led him to countless success and become a paragon of American dream. He was an Italian immigrant, and his family made a living by catching fish at San Francisco. His father required Joe to be a fisherman to support his poor family, but he refused, because he did not like the odor of fish and the environment. As a result, Joe was called a “lazy” boy, and dissension occurred between them.
He started his baseball life when his brother recommended him to San Francisco Seals, and later transferred to Yankees after an injury. That was when his miracles brought a significant impact toward baseball history.
Joe DiMaggio is known as one of the greatest baseball players in baseball history by setting a record that is most likely unable to break with 56 straight hitting streaks. However, while DiMaggio was on his hitting streak when he caught up to George Sisler’s record with 41 games hitting streak, his hitting streak started to catch the public’s attention. Furthermore, DiMaggio also said a quote when people were asking him if he would break Sisler’s record and DiMaggio replied, “I’m not thinking a whole lot about it…I’ll either break it or I won’t”. This quote not only does it show that he does not give himself a huge amount of pressure on breaking the record but also he treats everything with a calm attitude and letting destiny decide everything else in the future. Joe DiMaggio’s 56 batting streak started from May 15, 1941 when he was playing the Chicago White Sox and ended after 2 months on July 17, 1941 in Cleveland. The hitting streak is still well known around the whole United States and the world because it’s a record that’s been there for 70 years already yet nobody was able to break the record yet. Besides DiMaggio’s spectacular performance in
