Interesting reading. Good coverage of the older brother Vince, who paved the way for his youngest brothers by making his presence felt in the upper minor leagues, then an occasional stint in the majors. Joe of course, was the most famous of the brothers, but hardly the best-liked. Playing in his shadow was the beloved Dominic, who had an outstanding career in Boston and has been slighted by not being admitted to the Hall of Fame. No time to make the argument here, but from 46' on, he was the best player in the family, and you can check the stats for yourself to verify that or try to rebut it.
Dom was also a tremendous business success in his post-baseball career, and proved to be a generous, gracious man who was active in charities. Not the same could be said for Joe, who only became more arrogant, sullen, paranoid, and embittered. ( )

I liked reading this biography on the three DiMaggio brother who played major league baseball with different levels of success and fame. Many of the stories about Joltin' Joe I'd heard about or read before, but Vince and Dominic were largely unknown to me. Ted Williams also gets a fair amount of coverage. Joe is the loneliest and most unhappy brother while the youngest Dominic plays the family peacemaker and is the smartest brother. I like how we get the personal story (for the most part balanced) about each brother and not just another rundown on their baseball careers. This easy-to-read, insightful biography is a fun outing for the fans of the sport. ( )
