  • ALLA CORRENTE Dominic Dimaggio
    ALLA CORRENTE Dominic DiMaggio With the continuing exhibit at the Museo Italo Americano that closes on November 25, 2012, entitled Italian Americans At Bat: From Sand Lots to the Major Leagues, (I highly recommend that you see it) and with the baseball season about to enter into the playoffs and World Series, I thought it would be fun to devote another “Alla Corrente” article to famous Italian-American ballplayers; this time to the only DiMaggio ballplayer born in San Francisco. We’ll also move away from earlier “Alla Corrente” articles which dealt with the NY Yankees and focus on one of the great players of their fierce rival: Dom DiMaggio of the Boston Red Sox. Dominic Paul DiMaggio, the youngest of nine children, was born on February 12, 1917, in San Francisco and grew up in a typical working-class home at 2047 Taylor Street in the North Beach-Telegraph Hill section. Dom and brother Joe used to sell newspapers in downtown San Francisco on the corner of Sutter and Sansome Streets. The patriarch of the clan, Giuseppe DiMaggio, was a hard- working fisherman from Sicily who spoke little English. He believed playing baseball to be frivolous and in violation of his code of a strong work ethic. Their mother, Rosalee, a former schoolteacher, covered for the boys so that they could play baseball. Three of the DiMaggio brothers, Joe, Vince, and Dom, went on to play center field in the major leagues, and it was said of the brothers that Joe was the best hitter, Dom had the best arm, and Vince, who had aspirations to become an opera singer, had the best voice.
