“Joe, Joe DiMaggio,
We want you on our side!”
On July 2nd, 1941, in the sweltering July heat at Yankee Stadium, Joltin’ Joe DiMaggio got a pitch he could drive and pushed his hitting streak into record territory.
Mick Gillispie told the story of DiMaggio’s 45th consecutive game with a hit – and how far he hit it – during the sixth inning of Tennessee’s game with the Montgomery Biscuits on Wednesday.
