Joe DiMaggio at 100: Memories of the finest baseball player I ever saw | Fox News
(1914 – 1999)

Joe DiMaggio (“Joltin Joe”) is widely considered one
of the greatest baseball players of all time and is best
known for setting the record for the
longest hitting
streak in baseball
(56 games from May 15 – July 16,
1941), which still stands today.

DiMaggio was a heavy smoker for much of his adult
life. He was admitted to Memorial Regional Hospital
in
Hollywood, Florida, on October 12, 1998, for lung
cancer surgery and remained there for 99 days. He
returned to his Florida home, on January 19, 1999
and died thereon March 8 at age 84.
