 NEW YORK (AP) - The diary entry is obscure: Befitting the famously guarded personality of Joltin' Joe DiMaggio, it bears only tantalizing hints about his life as a baseball hero and husband of Marilyn Monroe.
April 28, 1989: "Up at 5 a.m. ... Book people felt me out with questions pertaining to baseball. Some part of my private life but not too strong on that. Will not reveal anything in a negative way towards Marilyn — only books that have come out on her might have not been truthful."
It takes a good friend — for instance, Hall of Famer Whitey Ford — to help flesh out the man behind the words.
