This king-sized, 15 1/2 x 20" photo of Joe DiMaggio in his San Francisco Seals days with his manager Lefty ODoul and teammate Joe Marty was blown up from the original negative and hung with pride in O'Doul's Bay Area restaurant in the '50s. Photo was taken in April 1935 when Joe D was in his final season with the PCL club before going to the Yankees in '36 -- it having been agreed to let him play 1 more season in his home town because of his popularity there. Bottom of photo lists the men's names and reads, "This was the year 'Jolting Joe' was sold to the Yankees." Photo is VG-EX with minor bunching and a fold mark on the upper right corner, but sharp edges and corners.
