The pair, while an unlikely duo, got along surprisingly
well during their two-day visit, according to Pearl’s
owner, Vanesa Semler.

"For me, [it] was a huge, pleasant surprise from day
one because Reggie is like Pearl in [a] bigger size,"
Semler said. "He is so gentle, so friendly."

Reggie’s owner, Sam Johnson Reiss, said the Great
Dane is more of a people person but enjoyed the
playdate.

DiMaggio’s major-league debut came on May 3,
1936, in a game at Yankee Stadium against the
St. Louis Browns.

DiMaggio played 64 games in left field, 54 in
center field, and 20 in right field in 1936 before
taking over as the full-time center fielder in 1937.

DiMaggio struck out 39 times in 1936, the highest
season total of his career, during which he struck
out only 369 times in 6,821 at-bats.

On May 3, 1942, during World War II, the first modern naval
engagement in history, the Battle of the Coral Sea, began. A
Japanese invasion force succeeds in occupying Tulagi of the
Solomon Islands in an expansion of Japan’s defensive perimeter.

The United States, having broken Japan’s secret war code and forewarned of an impending invasion of Tulagi and Port Moresby,
attempted to intercept the Japanese armada.
