Joe D. and Marilyn's 53rd wedding anniversary. "DiMaggio worshiped her memory, having fresh red roses delivered to her grave three times a week until his death. And in Richard Ben Cramer's book about the Clipper, A Hero's Life, he reports a scene where a drunken Marilyn rued the loss of DiMaggio and his cock, which was evidently enormous. "I miss Joe," she slurred. "He had a big bat and he could really hit home runs."
