Ask Babe: DiMaggio bat a winner, experts say

Wed, 15 May 2013 13:52:25 -0400

By BABE WAXPAK - Dear Babe: When I was a boy about 8 (I'm now 61) I was injured and in a hospital in Pittsburgh. A friend of my father, Carl Dephillipo from Cleveland, gave me a bat, which he said was given to him by, as well as used by, Joe DiMaggio. Mr. Dephillipo is still alive (about 87 years young) living near Cleveland and has had the nickname of "DiMag" forever. I have a copy of a news article (maybe 45-plus years old) where he discusses his collection. In the interview, he makes mention of his gift of a Joe DiMaggio bat to a crippled boy in Pittsburgh. I am that boy he notes but, I was not "crippled." Though for sure, a gift to a crippled boy makes a much better story. -- Tom Hadley, Hugo, Okla.
