...back to the 1930s-possibly to the day in 1936 when a spectacular rookie named Joe DiMaggio went 0 for 5 at the plate and flubbed two easy chances in the field just as his portrait appeared on TIME'S cover.

In the World Series that year, "Hammerm' Hank," as he was called, helped rout the formidable Cleveland Indians with a .364 batting average. He hit 129 major league homers before injuries and drinking problems forced his retirement...
