description: In The Odes of DiMagglo, Michael P. Richards chronicles the life and times of Joe DiMaggio, perhaps the the most well-known athlete in the history of baseball. He tells the story of Joe’s rise to prominence on the New York Yankees, his record-breaking hitting streak in 1941 and his rocky marriage to Marilyn Monroe, and analyzes the factors that led to his status as an American cultural icon. Throughout, Riccards brings a fresh perspective and keen historical insight to the nearly mythjical true-life tale of the “Yankee Slugger.”
