Delaney: Younger DiMaggio could "go get it"

Dominic DiMaggio, the younger brother of Joe DiMaggio, died Friday at his home in Massachusetts. He was 92.

I asked my father, who is two months short of his 88th birthday, about his memories of Dominic. Dad grew up in the Boston area and like DiMaggio he wore glasses. DiMaggio was apparently know as the "Little Professor" because of his glasses and his size - 5-foot-9.

"He was short but he could cover a lot of ground," dad told me. He guessed he saw DiMaggio play 10 or 12 times. "He went after every ball. He was a good player."
