About this product

Product Information

A groundbreaking, breathtaking biography of one of the Century's great icons, the late Joe Dimaggio, from the acclaimed Pulitzer Prize winning author of the bestseller WHAT IT TAKES. Few celebrities have captivated the sport's world for as long, or with such depth, as Joe DiMaggio. Here, for the first time, is the definitive story of his life, as told by the award-winning journalist Richard Ben Cramer. In Cramer's hands, DiMaggio's complicated life, from the first game with the Yankees in the 1930's, his marriage to Marilyn Monroe and his rise to hero status, becomes a story of the media, the invention of a national celebrity in America, and the ways in which fame can both build and destroy. Using his renowned investigative skills, Cramer has uncovered startling, even shocking, information about DiMaggio's life and presents them with his trademark combination of 'jarring, unsentimental prose' (THE NEW YORK TIMES).

I leave neutral for these reasons. The item is likely fake. Did I receive the item described? Technically, yes. However, I submitted it to a much more reputable authentication service and they say it is unlikely to pass. I do not ever appreciate sellers selling fake things, even when I probably should have known better. Hopefully, this is informative.

I appreciate all feedback whether it be good, neutral , or negative. If you look at the high end authenticated autographs that I have sold and realize that in each of my listings, I state that if there is ever proof of PSA, JSA, or Beckett not authenticating any of my items, then I will gladly accept their opinion as long as that opinion or copy there of is included in any items returned to me. That keeps it fair and everything on the up and up. You never granted me that option.

  • A Masterly Told Tale of Two Stories

    Whether you care about sports, sports heroes, baseball, baseball heroes, or movie star celebrities (Marilyn), this book is a blockbuster for anyone who appreciates good writing.! Richard Ben Cramer has created a refreshing and definitely original masterpiece of something that is more than a biography. Like Robert Cramer's STENGEL, this book is about the life AND TIMES of Joe DiMaggio. Cramer's Pulitzer Prize winning background in journalism allows him to report such a rich setting of people and events in Joe's time that the contrast makes Joe's story all the more vivid. What impressed me most about his writing was that he gives you completely objective reports about both the positive and negative aspects of the Joe DiMaggio story, but then, he ALSO gives you his completely honest and ...

  • "Joe Dimaggio The Hero's Life"

    This book by Richard Ben Cramer is a concise and detailed account of the life of the "Yankee Clipper ". The book is full of praise and respect for the player, but for the man himself it portrays an egotistical, self-serving, frugal, and often lonely man. A must read for a Dimaggio or Yankee fan!
