Letter to the Editor: Joe D should have been on DWTS

The San Francisco Chronicle (California)
November 6, 2011 Sunday

Dear Editors,

It was interesting to read in Wayback Machine Oct. 2 that Joe DiMaggio, the greatest centerfielder in the history of baseball sorry about that, Willie, did a song and dance routine with his brother Vince on a vaudeville tour in the 1930s. Having had the pleasure in the late 1940s and early 1950s of seeing the graceful Yankee Clipper roam the outfield and skillfully run the bases, I have no doubt that "DiMag" would have been a smash success on "Dancing With the Stars" though I've never seen the show, had the time element and circumstances provided him with the opportunity.

Has there ever been a classier person in sports or even show business than the truly inimitable Joltin' Joe?
