Joe DiMaggio had established himself during his first two years in Baseball as one of the games greatest stars. He emerged with flash but 1937 was all substance as he led the League with 46 Home Runs while batting .346 at the age of 23! It's no wonder he held out for more money before the start of the 1938 season, and no wonder that Jacob Ruppert paid it! Memorialized by a photographer from the International News, this image captures Joe signing his contract in Ruppert's office. Condition and quality are both outstanding.
