It doesn't seem like the 'diary' is filled with much intimate detail (at least interesting detail) into DiMag's thinking or playing days. I'd be surprised if it sells for that opening price. Just another greedy lawyer abusing the trust Joe had in him. |

In the article I read, a passage was cited where Joe mentions he spent the day at a Bowery Bank signing autographs. I only met and talked to Joe once- at a Bowery Savings Bank in Brooklyn around 1987. I wonder if that day made it into these journals. It did sound very mundane and not worth a fraction of that price, but somebody with too much money will probably buy it anyhow. |

The excerpts I've read aren't very revealing about Joltin Joe. I don't know how they managed to put together 29 volumes, there must be a lot of commentary there by Whitey Ford. |

Wonder if any of the diary entries reveal the inspiration of the song, "You're So Vein." |

This stuff has been way overvalued (at a $600 per piece opening bid) by the seller, methinks. When Hunt Auctions ran their DiMaggio "estate" auction last year, far more interesting handwritten pieces were going for less money. Some of them were even autographed and most of the diary pieces seemingly are not. AND the market would now be flooded. |

From the excerpts I have seen the book offers absolutely nothing to DiMaggio's legacy. |

Maybe there's a part in there about Joe going to Dinky's Donuts. |

Now if there were some steamy details about Joe and Marilyn, the starting bid would be $5,000,000 and the hammer price would be through the roof. |
