The Resume

    (February 12, 1917-May 8, 2009)

    Brother of Joe DiMaggio
    Centerfielder for the Boston Red Sox (1940-53)
    Seven time All-Star (1941-42,1946,1949-52)

Why he might be annoying:

    He was overshadowed by his brother.
    He was nicknamed 'the Little Professor' for his eyeglasses and relatively small stature.
    He apparently dissed Marilyn Monroe at his brother's funeral, when he said that Joe had everything 'except the right woman to share his life with.'

Why he might not be annoying:

    He led the American League in runs twice, stolen bases once, assists three times and double plays twice.
    His baseball career was interrupted by service in World War II.
    He was married to Emily Frederick for 61 years until his death.
    After his baseball days, he became a multi-millionaire running a textile manufacturing company.
    Ted Williams said 'He was as good a centerfielder as I ever saw' and campaigned to get him inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame.
