Quote of the day: Jerry Coleman on Joe DiMaggio

New York Yankees second baseman Jerry Coleman on teammate and Hall of Famer Joe DiMaggio:

“DiMaggio seldom showed emotion. One day after striking out, he came into the dugout and kicked the ball bag. We all went, ‘Ooooh.’ It really hurt. He sat down and the sweat popped out of his forehead and he clenched his fists without ever saying a word. Everybody wanted to howl, but he was a god. You don’t laugh at gods.”
