Legendary New York Yankee center fielder Joe DiMaggio clips the ball with his signature jolt in this classic 1941 photo, “The Swing.” A three-time MVP and 11-time All Star and, in 1941, DiMaggio said getting a hit each day was more important to him than eating, drinking or sleeping when he achieved a 56-game hitting streak which has been called the top American sports feat of all time. Retiring at age 36 and inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1955, DiMaggio had the fifth-most career home runs and sixth-highest slugging percentage in history.
