Joe DiMaggio & Ken Keltner Dual-Signed Baseball

Joe DiMaggio and Ken Keltner: A Baseball Legacy Preserved

The Legendary Streak

In the annals of baseball memorabilia, few stories resonate as deeply as Joe DiMaggio’s remarkable 56-game hitting streak in 1941. This extraordinary feat, which captivated the nation, came to an end on July 17, 1941, thanks to the defensive prowess of Ken Keltner. Keltner’s two backhanded plays were instrumental in halting what could have been a 73-game streak, as DiMaggio continued to hit safely in the next 16 games.
