Pieces of DiMaggio's Past on the Auction Block (http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=5402287)
Where has your stuff gone, Joe DiMaggio? Well, it turns out many collectibles from the late baseball icon's memorable life will soon be going... going.... gone at auction.
The gavel will fall during a two-day session on May 19-20 at the New York Marriott Marquis Times Square. The catalogue is already open for online and telephone bids.
Hunt Auctions of Exton, Pa., will sell a captivating assortment of the Yankee Clipper's keepsakes: World Series championship rings, trophies, awards, photos, relics of his brief marriage to Marilyn Monroe... and a uniform from his final World Series game in 1951.
David Hunt, president of Hunt Auctions, talks with Scott Simon about the collection.
A piece of Yanks' clipper--DiMaggio, Monroe items can be yours (http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/baseball/story/418402p-353389c.html)
On the field, Joe DiMaggio let his bat do the talking. But in his star-crossed relationship with Marilyn Monroe, Joltin' Joe found it necessary to jot down tips on dealing with the emotionally fragile actress.
"Don't ever be critical," "Be nice to her friends," "Remember how lonesome and unhappy you are — especially without her," the Yankee baseball great wrote in a pocket-size journal some time after the couple's 1954 divorce.
The revealing writings, along with the couple's telegrams and love letters — and lots of DiMaggio baseball memorabilia — are going up for auction this weekend at the Marriott Marquis hotel in Times Square.
David Hunt, president of Hunt Auctions, said DiMaggio's granddaughters, who inherited the Hall of Famer's estate after his 1999 death, wanted to present a range of items for the Yankee Clipper's fans.
