Our nation turns its lonely eyes to you.” In 1967, Paul Simon wrote “Mrs. Robinson” to reminisce about the innocence of the past. Simon originally wrote the song about Eleanor Roosevelt, but the final version included only one name: Joe DiMaggio. While DiMaggio wasn’t happy being included in the song, the lyric was one more way that Joltin’ Joe was cemented as one of the best and most famous baseball players in the history of the game. The center fielder was named an All-Star in every season he played, and many of his records still stand today, including his 56-game hitting streak from 1941. He played every season with the New York Yankees and led the team to 10 World Series appearances and 9 championships. In 1955, he was enshrined in the National Baseball Hall of Fame. The Yankee Clipper followed in the footsteps of greats like Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig, and he quickly established himself as a generational player. His time on the field began during the Great Depression and ended in the midst of the baby boom following World War II. Did you enjoy this excerpt?
