I think it wasn't as much about him being not a nice person as it was that he was very quiet by nature. Then you add in all the people chasing him around all the time, and then he gets viewed more negatively if he doesn't respond.
I love Joe D., and it definitely (and unfortunately) helps me pick up stuff for my collection because you guys are right; he just doesn't get the love.
Last month, I picked up a game used bat, so that is my DiMaggio pinnacle right now.
