Notes: Here are two handwritten pages of notes from a speech that DiMaggio gave in which he talks about his record 1941 hitting streak. In the notes he writes about how his bat was stolen so he ended up using Tommy Henrich’s. He tried Rizzuto’s bat but found that it was a little heavy. The letters are handwritten, but not signed. From DiMaggio estate auction (pulled out of lot 680 in that auction). LOA from the DiMaggio family.

Condition: NRMT.
