Mr. President. as a Senator from Joe DiMaggios home state. I am pleased to be an original cosponsor of the resolution honoring "the Yankee Clipper." Joe DiMaggio holds a unique place in the hearts of every baseball fan and every Californian. Joe DiMaggio was born in 1914 in Martinez. California. near San Francisco Bay. Like many Californians then and now. Joe was the child of immigrants. His parents came from Sicily to California. where his father found work as a fisherman. At age 18. Joe began his professional baseball career with the San Francisco Seals. where he set a Pacific Coast League record that still stands by hitting in 61 straight games.
