Argument 22: Does Dom DiMaggio Belong In the Hall of Fame?

Book Answer: No.

He's in the Red Sox Hall of Fame, but we should look at the resume. "The Little Professor" was a seven time All-Star, had a career .298 batting average, 1,680 hits, batted .300 four times, led the league in runs twice, triples and stolen bases twice, putouts and assists three times, Boston record 34 game hitting streak. If he didn't lose prime seasons to the war, he'd be there, but I believe that he should be regardless. Who's better than his brother Joe? Dominic DiMaggio! I don't know if I'd go that far, though.
