Sure, DiMaggio Wasn’t Perfect, but He Was Willing Role Model

I, too, mourned the passing of Joe DiMaggio. But is our society so devoid of heroes that we need to accord deity status to a professional athlete?

Joe DiMaggio didn’t heal the sick or feed the poor. He just played baseball.

If today’s professional athletes had 10% of the class, dignity and character of Joe DiMaggio, you would have no need for the pitifully sad commentary on the state of professional sports today that you can find almost daily in Newswire under “Jurisprudence.”
