The Streak: How Joe DiMaggio Became America's Hero

In the summer of 1941, Yankee center fielder Joe DiMaggio and his favorite bat, Betsy Ann, begin the longest hitting streak in baseball history. But when Betsy Ann goes missing, will DiMaggio keep hitting? Set on the brink of World War II, this is a spellbinding account of a sports story that united the country and made DiMaggio a hero, at a time when one was profoundly needed. Barb Rosenstockâ€™s action-packed text and Terry Widenerâ€™s powerful illustrations capture DiMaggioâ€™s drive as well as his frustration. The book also includes headlines, quotes, stats, and a detailed bibliography.
