That DiMaggio got Kennedy elected by manipulating Chicago votes, right?

Those were the days,my friend——I thought they’d never end.

I loved the fifties-——especially Sinatra.

I have read that DiMaggio was very conservative although they might have meant about his views of marriage.

His season high for strike outs was 39 in his rookie year. He hit 361 homers and struck out 369 times in a 13 year career. In 1941 he had 30 homers and 13 strike outs for the season. Pretty amazing by today’s standards.

On the evening of Nov. 5, 1954, the Yankee Clipper and Frank Sinatra hastily got up from dinner with friends at the Villa Capri in Hollywood and drove to a little apartment house at Kilkea Drive and Waring Avenue.

Kilkea and Waring are a couple miles south of where I used to live when I lived in Hollywood.

The Villa Capri was in downtown Hollywood. The family that owned it now runs Patsy's Pizza in Farmer's Market on Third St. and Fairfax Ave. I've never eaten there, but it would have to have really good Italian cuisine to divert me from Andre's, a cafeteria-style Italian restaurant next to Whole Foods, across Third from Farmer's Market.
