With Babe Ruth no longer playing and Lou Gehrig three years away from an abrupt retirement, it seemed like the Yankees dynasty might finally come to an end. But no, a new kingpin was on hand to lead the Bronx Bombers for the next generation, and what better representative of the heart of New York City than an Italian kid named Giuseppe Paolo DiMaggio. "Joltin' Joe" is presented in this Newspaper Enterprise Association photo, barely out of his teens but already a force in the American League, posting 29 homers, a .323 average and a league-leading 15 triples in his rookie season. A news stamp and typical writer's notations are on the reverse, and the photo has moderate wear typical for its age. The photo measures 7 x 9 with an LOA from PSA/DNA.
