Joe DiMaggio is shown saluting his bat, a gesture that captured the spirit of the New York Yankees center fielder in 1941, the year he hit safely in 56 straight games. The record names no photographer or exact date, so the picture is best understood through its moment: DiMaggio's streak drew national attention through that summer, and fans followed each game closely. The image catches the star's playful, confident side, a reminder of why his run remains one of baseball's most celebrated records.
