Joe DiMaggio played just 13 seasons with the New York Yankees, but remained a legend for five decades after. Several sites look at DiMaggio_s place in popular culture, from his heyday as the Yankee Clipper through his nine-month marriage to Marilyn Monroe and his days as Mr. Coffee_s spokesman. The CNN/SI columnist Frank Deford examines why DiMaggio mattered so much. ESPN also contributes several worthwhile columns about DiMaggio, the ballplayer and the person. A student site at the department of American Studies of the University of Virginia titled "Where Have You Gone Joe DiMaggio?" asks if J. Joe_s legend will survive the test of time. As part of a particularly extensive memorial, The New York Times remembers DiMaggio with an attractive 14-photo essay and a video profile. Several other online photo galleries bring to life famous frozen moments from DiMaggio_s career. Fox Sports_ pictorial tribute tracks J. Joe_s life in the spotlight, from his days with the San Francisco Seals of the Pacific Coast League through his marriage to Marilyn Monroe and his last public appearance, at Yankee Stadium in 1998. The Yankees site offers three fine photos of Joe D as part of an image archive of New York baseball greats. The Los Angeles Times also includes a solid collection of historic sound and video clips. Many of these multimedia files require plug-ins such as RealAudio or RealVideo.
