Is this Joe DiMaggio?

Interesting debate so far. I wasn't sure. Also, this is one of the few polls we have had that if you click on the number, in any category, you will see who responded and how they responded. It's the "public" option type of poll. I love this software......

At least no one chose "I Don't Care"....yet

The ear experts should be able to tell, perfect ear shot to compare. I think it might be him.

I'm having a bit of trouble identifying which kid you think is Joe (they are all wearing a cap!). Perhaps you could circle the kid on the picture so its clear we are looking at the same kid?

i want it to be joe so i'm voting yes.
best,

Please post "Joe" at hi-res (at least 300-600 DPI) - a definitive answer may be possible here.

Edit - never mind. Ear mismatch, for certain not him.

How can you tell it's an ear mismatch from such a very tiny image? And maybe Joe had an ear job- kids do it all the time!

bijoem · #11 03-31-2010, 07:45 AM

I voted "I don't know".....

It is either him - or someone who looks a lot like him.

Id say a large diastema(space between Joe D's two upper front teeth) would NOT develop from age 14-19...it would have been apparent by this time...unless he had braces to create this space!

I knew a dentist could explain the lack of a gap between his teeth. I say it's Joe.

ullmandds · #14 03-31-2010, 08:33 AM

Barry...joe who?

Barry,

I think Peter just voted that it's NOT Joe D. and you agreed with him that it IS Joe D.

Did I get that correct?

I think the guy with the sailor's(?) cap is Bing Crosby.

Just saw this thread today, this is one of the reasons I love Net54.
Barry, you get no mercy on this site at times.

It would be great if it was Joe D. but I have to go along with those that say it isn't the Clipper.

I know Richard. They kick me around like an old dish rag!
