Where Have You Gone Dom DiMaggio

The passing of Joe DiMaggio’s brother was a loss that got very little press. It marked another end to a great era in baseball. When you have a famous brother it is so hard to get the attention you deserve. Dom was a great ballplayer in own right. He deserves to be in the Hall of Fame. But, he probably won’t be selected. He had great stats including hitting in 34 straight games, a Boston Red Sox record. He hit 299 for his career. Whereever his soul rests, we should have him reunited with his brother in baseball lore.
