We lead off commemorating a birthday, that of the most famous Yankee to be born on November 25. The Yankee Clipper, Joe DiMaggio (1914), hit 361 lifetime home runs (all as a righty batter) in a home ballpark with a virtually unreachable left center field wall; he won three MVP Awards and two batting titles, while driving home 1,537 runs.
He led the league in rbi’s twice, in homers twice, slugging percentage twice, and total bases three times. He played 13 seasons around World War II, and was generally considered to be the smoothest defensive outfielder of his time.
