From the article I just linked to...
On Jan. 24, 2014 President Bill Clinton received the honor as the inaugural recipient of the Joe DiMaggio American Icon Award. The award is “given to that individual who represents the highest of values for which Joe DiMaggio stood.”
The irony, however, is that during his lifetime, DiMaggio, one of the greatest influences in the history of American Baseball, did everything possible to avoid being seen with Clinton and his wife, Hillary, and even rejected calls from Clinton following surgery from lung cancer.
Then how is it that Clinton was given the award in DiMaggio’s name?

Fascinating. First time I have heard of a Clinton passing up a massive speaking fee.
