Negative Positive
Title: Good biography, but had the potential to be much better.
Review: Really enjoyed this documentary when it came out on HBO, but this isnt to say that there weren't any holes that could've been filled in much more aptly. For one, would've liked to have seen much more material pertaining to the "rivalry" that Joe had with Ted Williams during the period of the 40's. Being the two premier players of the American League all during this time, with DiMaggio getting the upper hand on Williams for most of the decade, would've loved to have seen how each one of them fed off of each other with regards to individual and team accomplishments. And given the "Red Sox" connection with him and Ted Williams, would've liked to have seen how this played out with his brother Dom (who was a great outfielder with the BoSox during this decade as well). Otherwise, I would say that sans these two items, it is definitely worth purchasing for a reasonable price.
