Joltin' Joe DiMaggio-Les Brown's 1941 hit record

[dawnsherie]

Just heard this song from Seinfeld. Really like it! I love the sounds of that era.

[demsu69]

Here because of Seinfeld. Right =)

Does anyone realize if Joe had just got 1 hit that night in Cleveland...

Combined with the streak he had AFTER that night...

he number would've been 73 STRAIGHT GAMES?! :O

That's nearly half the whole season!

Kramer just saw him in Dinky donnuts :D

[TheDaleDenton]

@Nick34Ca559 marilyn monroe's favourite husband and the one person that really cared about her

[Nick34Ca559]

@TheDaleDenton true....he would send flower's to her grave for 20 years or so after she passed.....

[ohiostmarine29203]

@TheDaleDenton he sure didn't care about her black friends and darn sure didn't care about Mickey Mantle

[agsmallticket]

[capgurken]

So I was singing this song in class again, and this girl says he singing "our song", obviously theres no way she heard of this song till I brought it up, so how the hell does she get off saying its their song?

[youweechube]

Ethier up to 24 ... hes coming for you Joe !!

[gvalley07]

Tomorrow will be Joe D's 96th birthday.I've just examined his streak with regard to starters.

Joe faced several starters three times each-a common happening in an 8 team league.18 times a starter went the distance.8 times he went 8 innings.Another 7 games,he went 7.So in 33 of the games he faced a starter probably four times;something that doesn't happen very often in today's game.To balance that somewhat,three times he got hits in five inning games.

56 will probably last forever.

[PhillySouth]

Hey, why didn't you give us the whole record? Just because it has a skip in the record, no need to abort the proceedings, huh?

[rentslave]

With the way the game is played today,this record should stand forever.Joe got the chance to hit off of a lot of tiring starters(True,everyone else in his area did so as well;only Sisler got to 44).

I would have to have seen how long Jimmy Rollins could have gone on had not the season ended in 2005.He had everything going for him;leadoff hitter who didn't walk ,on a good hitting team playing well,a switch hitter with speed,plus an attitude that most great players have.

The world has a lot to thank America for - and Joe DiMaggio is one them!

[lkrnpk]

@parker00pen the world doesn't even know who Joe DiMaggio was...

[parker00pen]

@lkrnpk Havent heard of him!! Then you must live in Russia or China. Ha hah!

[FalconStkr1]

He is way out of my time im only 24 but I do love this song. I will have to do some research to find out what made him so great

[kyokogodai]

I have this on vinyl (78). Thanks for posting it here, since I don't have a player to listen to it on.

[aalynch30]

Best song ever about Baseball. Funny and swinging and about one of the underappreciated alltime greats

[DominoRyder]

Cool song, I miss Joltin' Joe
