Dominic DiMaggio, Joe DiMaggio's little and younger brother, signed this autograph album page in 1940. He wrote:
With Best Wishes for a Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year
Dom Di Maggio
This was part of a collection of sports and political autographs from a Boston collector all obtained in the winter of 1940. This was outfielder Dom DiMaggio's rookie year with the Boston Red Sox.
The Little Professor was an outstanding centerfielder.

The autograph of Del Baker, the manager of the pennant winning Detroit Tigers, American League Champions, is listed separately.
The DiMaggio signature is about 3-1/4" x 5" and is a page cut from an autograph album. The signature appears to be in a blue fountain ink pen.
