DiMaggio's 56-game hitting streak in 1941 remains one of baseball's most cherished records. According to many eye witnesses, DiMaggio was the best all-around player of his time. He could hit, hit for power, throw, field, and run. He was a winner: playing on ten pennant winners and failing to win the World Series just once in those ten tries. In the back collar of this jersey is the "Wilson" manufacturers size "42" tag with wash instructions. Across the front of the jersey is "New York" done in blue on white tackle twill. On the back is the player's number "5" done in blue on white tackle twill. In the inside back of the hat is the "New Era" Pro Model manufacturer's tag and another small tag with "7 1/4". There is an autograph on the underside of the brim in blue marker and rates an 8. The jersey and hat show wear and appear to have no alterations of any kind. Accompanied by a LOA from James Spence Authentication. An additional LOA will be provided.
