The Streak: How Joe Dimaggio Became America's Hero by Barb Rosenstock
4.0
As I finish this book I couldn’t help but wonder if anyone will ever beat DiMaggios record. Pitchers throw balls much faster today than they did then. Still his accomplishment is phenomenal.
Upon finishing the book, I can’t help but wonder who stole Betsy Ann and why.
I appreciate that Rosenstark connected his story into the larger picture of the world at war, and showed us how DiMaggio’s success inspired a nation.
The back matter includes of all kinds of additional information. There’s a note with more details about DiMaggio. There’s a chart of his statistics. There’s an extensive bibliography that includes websites that were active at the time of publication.
