| Summary |
Joe DiMaggio and Wilt Chamberlain were larger-than-life sports heroes with too many accomplishments to list. But if you ask most sports fans what they most associate with either one of them, the answer is most likely a number. Not DiMaggio's grace or Chamberlain's height, but 56 and 100--numbers that every sports fan instantly recognizes. |
