1941 Joe DiMaggio Standing Over Bats Forming Record-Breaking "45" Hitting Streak PSA Type 1 Encapsulated William C. Greene Photo – Measures Approx. 8" x 10"
YANKEE CLIPPER HIT RECORD!!! The 1941 campaign would see "Joltin' Joe" DiMaggio accomplish the impossible, recording a hit in a still-record 56 consecutive games. On July 2nd against the Red Sox at Yankee Stadium, the Yankee Clipper would belt a three-run homer in the bottom of the fifth inning off of Beantown hurler Dick Newsome in an 8-4 Yankees victory; the 45th straight game he posted a hit to eclipse Wee Willie Keeler's previous 44-consecutive game hit mark. This awe-inspiring William C. Greene PSA Type 1 photo reveals the legendary DiMaggio in a classic batting pose standing directly over a number of bats forming the record number "45". Well-centered, the timeless pose has eluded any serious flaws, offering near-perfect clarity and registration. Some scattered surface wrinkles and faint chips do not compromise the image's integrity, and the verso includes the critical WM. C. GREENE credit stamp. Fascinating to say the least, it conjures up vivid memories of how the immortal Joltin' Joe captivated a nation via his iconic streak that will most likely stand the test of time!
