The Yankee Clipper; Joltin Joe DiMaggio

In 1968, songwriter Paul Simon asked the question, " Where have you gone Joe DiMaggio?" in the hit song, Mrs. Robinson. This week BKP host Jake Robinson, anectodotally re-ask the very same question, as Backwards K Pod does a deep dive into the history, and the mystique of Joltin Joe Dimaggio, the Yankee Clipper. He was one of those rare athletes like Babe Ruth, Muhammed Ali and Michael Jordan, who trancended sports, and became a part of the American conscience during the 20th Century. He was the end of a bygone era. During the days when men wore suits and a hat. On the field and in the public eye, Joe displayed the elegance and grace that made him special. From his youth in San Francisco, to his amazing baseball career with the New York Yankees, to his marriage to glamour girl Marilyn Monroe. Backwards K Pod brings this icon back to life, with his amazing story. #JoeDiMaggio #NewYorkYankees #PacificCoastLeague #BabeRuth #MarilynMonroe #HitStreak #Dodgers #RedSox #TedWilliams
