I rise today on a matter which is not politically controversial to honor one of San Franciscos best known residents. Joe DiMaggio. and to wish him a happy 80th birthday on behalf of his millions of fans across America and around the world. Joseph Paul DiMaggio was born on November 25. 1914. in Marinez. CA. the son of Italian immigrants. He grew up in San Francisco and began his legendary baseball career as a member of the San Francisco Seals in the Pacific Coast League. By 1936. he was the starting center fielder for the New York Yankees where he would become known as the "Yankee Clipper" for his graceful style of play and quiet leadership.
