Mickey Mantle was one of the greatest ball players ever, but he was never cool. He was a brawler & a drunk.
DiMaggio was cool, cerebral, discreet, elegant, and a gentleman.
DiMaggio followed Marilyn Monroe around like a puppy and his reputation as a nice guy was a front. I wouldn’t even think of him as being on a list of cool people. He seemed to me to be a phony man, quite frankly sort of a prick..JMO
