Joe Dimaggio Show with radio host Jack Barry - Radio Broadcast / In this rare audio snippet from 1949, we hear an engaging conversation between two prominent figures of their time, Joe DiMaggio and radio host Jack Barry. DiMaggio, a renowned baseball player, was at the end of his career at the time, playing for the New York Yankees. Known for his exceptional hitting and fielding skills, DiMaggio was a household name, and his contribution to the sport was immense. On the other side of the mic, Jack Barry, an established radio and television host, was known for his knack for drawing out interesting insights from his interviewees. This was before his rise to greater fame in the 1950s and 1960s as the host of popular game shows. In this broadcast, Barry's probing questions and DiMaggio's candid responses offer listeners a unique glimpse into the world of baseball during this era.

/ Who's Who in Major League Baseball is a statistician's dream because it featured the major and minor league statistics of the major league players for that particular year.
This annual publication was available through the mail and at most major league stadiums. Its decline in popularity is said to be a result of the competition from team yearbooks.
Who's Who covers generally contain photos of the top four stars of the previous year. Each edition featured photos and sketches of sports team top twenty players. A world champion photo usually appeared on the back cover of Who's Who in Major League Baseball while the other league champions appeared on the front cover.

After A.S Barnes stopped publication of their guide (successor to the long-running Spalding Baseball Guide), the Sporting News Guide became the official MLB guide.
