Joe DiMaggio hit 361 career home runs plus anther 8 in the post season and you are looking at his last one. DiMaggio hit one home run in game four of the World Series before calling it a career just a few days later. Seen here at the Polo Grounds and connecting with a mighty swing, Joe was still in his follow through when this photo was snapped, but within a few seconds he would be circling the bases and heading home, one last time. Issued by Acme and stamped on the back, this is the only example of this image we have seen and it presents well with a small paper note glued to the front.
