Where has Joe DiMaggio gone?

Monday May 15, 2006
The answer is Hunt Auctions! A large portion of his life was up for bid at the Hunt Auctions' Joe DiMaggio Live Auction.

Hundreds of items sold, including vintage photographs, autographed baseballs, the baseball that was hit on June 21, 1950 for his 2000th hit and much more. It's a bit mind boggling to see so much of his life on the auction block.
