Lidstrom was a spectacular defenceman, maybe the best ever-and it pains me to say that as a Milwaukeean who is supposed to hate all Detroit sports teams. But DiMaggio is one of the ten greatest hitters in the game's history. And as great as Lidstrom was, in my humble opinion, nothing he ever did surpassed DiMaggio's 56 game hitting streak.
And even if you put Lidstrom's career accomplishments and rings up against DiMaggio's career accomplishments and rings, and by some stroke of luck they tied, Joe has the tiebreaker.
