Dom DiMaggio's Books

The challenging puzzlers presented here will have you playing armchair manager or umpire; reading about strange, unusual, and trick plays; and matching up quotes with the people who originated them.

Baseball fans can enjoy fascinating stories about great plays and controversial calls on the diamond, all while testing their own knowledge of the game. Is there a limit to a bat’s length and weight? If a batter swings for his third strike and misses, but the ball gets away from the catcher, can he still run to first? Or is he out? And what happens if the wrong batter comes up to hit—and the right player suddenly realizes that they’re out of order? Through a series of true tales, find out about little-known rules of pitching, batting, and fielding, as well as weird situations that have occurred, smart strategies for winning, and funny things have taken place over the years.

These challenging game situations have stumped players, managers--and even umpires! Some are real and some are hypothetical, but each of these 40 tough calls is in the megaleague rule book. There are dozens of great drawings, too.

Presents puzzling or ambiguous baseball questions derived from real events, such as "Can two pitchers be in the same team's lineup at the same time?" and gives the answers based on the rule book.

Armchair athletes who love the history, strategy, and unpredictability of baseball will find this compilation almost as much fun as watching nine innings. It will inform, entertain, and test their knowledge of sport. The trivia questions cover all the rules of batting, pitching, fielding, base running, and catching. "Who Said It?" match-ups feature quips by the game's most colorful managers and players, and memorable "Baseball Quotables" appear throughout.

Presents nearly 3000 questions about the New York Yankees in such chapters as: Stengel's Story, Rookies and Veterans, Nicknames, World Series Chronology, and Super Seasons.

The title of the book is a brief look into Dom's heart. The mound is symbolic when he played professional baseball as a pitcher. The pulpit fits his conversion as an ordained minister and the In-Between depicts his twenty years in retail management.

2018 marks 115 years since the inception of the New York Yankees--and what a 115-year period it's been! But how did the team that has since won a league-leading 27 world championships get started? In A Franchise on the Rise, veteran sportswriter Dom Amore takes readers back in time to the first twenty years of the team's existence, from 1903 to 1923, focusing on all the major players and events, including their first ten years as the Highlanders, their move to Yankee Stadium, and their subsequent first World Series in 1923. In doing so, Amore successfully finds the characters' own voices and thereby vividly reconstructs events of more than a century ago. He recounts the snowy night Honus Wagner was offered twenty crisp $1,000 bills to join the new franchise in New York; the story behind the holes punched in the outfield fence that facilitated the stealing of signs in 1909; and why the team thought it may have had the next big superstar in a college football end named George Halas. This is a tale about the business of baseball as it was done at the time and, in many ways, as it still must be done. There was no secret to building a winning organization. It took money and luck, but it also took a group of people working as a team, each allowed to do his job and each doing it superbly.

The Men of Autumn is Dom Forker's lively account of the 1949-53 New York Yankees--the only team in the history of baseball to win five consecutive World Series, defeating their rivals, the Brooklyn Dodgers (the "Boys of Summer"). These stories--in the words of the players themselves--are priceless tickets to a golden era of baseball.

Think you know the how, what, where, and why of baseball's who's who? Test your smarts with the challenging new quizzes in the most comprehensive baseball trivia quiz book ever to hit the bleachers.

Against the backdrop of the growing storm clouds of World War II, the 1941 baseball season was remarkable both for its players and events--and for its significance as the end of an era. Written by Joe DiMaggio's brother.

Here's the chance to go up at bat with baseball's toughest trivia questions, covering every aspect of the game. Whether the reader's score is at the top of the league or the bottom of the lineup, he is sure to have hours of fun with this grand slam baseball blowout!

It's the ultimate challenge for every baseball enthusiast. Test your knowledge on real-life, hypothetical, and unusual situations, as well as on official scoring. Every pitching, fielding, batting, and running rule has been broken or bent--find out who did it, where, and when. Packed with rule applications. 128 pages, 13 b/w illus., 5 3/8 x 8 1/4.

The brother of baseball legend Joe DiMaggio and a respected player in his own right offers a touching memoir of baseball and the country that revered it in the 1940s
