56. Paying homage to one of the greatest hitters of all-time, and the greatest streak in professional sports history. Joe DiMaggio’s 56-game hitting streak ended 71 years ago (yesterday). No man will break down that wall. Only ten hitters have ever surpassed 35.
Rare baseball footage from the 1939 World Series. This is just incredible—dapper suits and fedoras galore as the Yankees shut out the Reds…filmed in COLOR over 8 decades ago at the Old Yankee Stadium. Beautiful. {via}
