Joe DiMaggio 1995 SS Speech

[@rachelclark7782]

Every one is saying how he would send roses to her grave and never married again. Also his last words were (I'll get to see Marilyn now). I think this more than anything else he did shows how much he loved her.

[@onefoot7]

And, she was a big Farter!

[@onefoot7]

Perfect fit, he's and asshole, and she's Farter, LOL

[@natalieann_]

Didn’t he beat her

[@esye_crazy-3-930]

onefoot7 don’t even go there

[@thejewel5947]

He beat the shit outta her and his first wife.Ignored his son as an infant .Stalked and abused Marilyn if that's love its a joke .As for the flowers Guilt is a terrible thing. Thank God Marilyn is away from him EVIL pig . He didn't love her, Obsession and Abuse isn't love

[@barbiejaynecheng7906]

Thank you for loving Marilyn Joe. You are the only genuine pure heart who loves her.

[@charlottebruce979]

Me too, but he beat her and was extremely jealous, that's why she divorced him. They were better as friends, probably occasional lovers, but marriage material, no.

[@JustBeKind67]

Yeah he loved her with his hands! She used to hit her...I guess he thought she was another baseball? I won’t forgive him for that! They would have a stayed if he wasn’t a insecure man

[@joedimag]

The real proof he loved her is that he always refused milions to write his autobiography because he said he know they want to know about Marilyn and that’s private! He respect her so much to keep their story private and I’ll be always grateful for that

[@SenorZorrozzz]

Man he looked good and his mind was sharp.

[@jonchaney]

If I live to be his age.. I should look so good and have that presence. That is a man!!

[@KayjunKing]

He was the greatest athlete to ever walk the earth. To shine like he did when Lou &Lefty was playing and still be the better player...what more could you ask for...Mr. Joe DiMaggio is the symbol for astronomical ability.#bighands

[@carolinecorman1716]

What a man. ❤️❤️❤️❤️ My favorite baseball player. The saddest thing is losing Marilyn Monroe. She was very close to his son, she seemed to really love him.

[@agirlwithadream2348]

When I was 28, I got to wait on him, as a waitress, he hugged me, and thank you for the good service.

[@kmslegal7808]

[@stever1791]

Did he leave a good tip ? he was known to be cheap .

[@wft2]

he didnt leave you any money, i know trust me.

[@virginianeil6185]

He never married again , that is true love xxxx.

[@charlottebruce979]

Did he not mean Marilyn Monroe?

[@EJM659]

He aged well ❤... and everyone knew not to talk about MM to him lol.. he should be in the crypt next to Marilyn. Not hefner

[@jonchaney]

If anyone mentioned Marilyn, they got an icy stare and were never in joes orbit again. I read about him. And actually, that would be disrespectful. Don’t ask about somebody’s past unless they bring it up.

[@Suzyfromtheblock]

E M really is Hugh Hefner with her gosh I never knew that

[@DianaPhoenix]

Joe looks really good! Out of all Marilyn's lovers and husbands, I think he's the only one who genuinely loved and valued her, imperfections and all. If he beat her, and I don't know if he did, it was because his Italian Catholic sense of morality disapproved of her displaying the body he thought by marriage was his alone. And if he did, I'm sure that he regretted it. For many years he sent fresh flowers to her crypt, and he never married again. May these two star crossed lovers both rest in peace!

[@DianaPhoenix]

I did not disagree with this. I simply said that Joe was an Italian Catholic, probably of the old school, and therefore may have had a strict sense of morals. Nothing wrong with that statement or that fact.

[@h.l.asolomonov7674]

Diana Phoenix amen

[@tomitstube]

diana. you can credit marilyn for getting joe to seek therapy after their divorce, she also got him to stop drinking and expand his interests outside baseball, including poetry. joe never stopped loving marilyn... he would help her get out of a mental hospital after splitting with arthur miller, and was concerned for her because ironically it was her who now was under the influence of drugs and people out to exploit her. i have no doubt they would have been great friends if she hadn't died. they both still respected each other a great deal.

[@jean3tte]

...."because of his Italian Catholic sense of morality." Sorry not sorry, that doesn't excuse or even begin to explain why he would have potentially been abusive. A person can send as many flowers as they want but it doesn't mean that they didn't hurt someone both physically and mentally....

[@starkiss77]

He still was there for her when others couldn't give a damn about her. Nobody is perfect neither she was. And he did his best in the end. He was the only one that truly loved her.

[@virginianeil6185]

I don't know if the rumours about Joe beating marilyn all the time was true or not , but one thing that's DEFINITELY true , marilyn Monroe was the love of his life and he proved it by claiming her body when no one else did , arranged her funeral , blocked the press etc from going to her funeral and putting fresh flowers on her crypt. lovers till the end x .

[@Missditabomb]

I wish I could have met this man!! If Marilyn had been in the audience that night, she would have been so happy for him and proud of him~~~she was that kind of a gal. He was a phenomenon. (As was she!!) Rest in Peace, Joe and Marilyn.

[@JCW1013]

He was a bad father, no doubt. A bad husband? Why else would MM divorce him? Did he beat her? Some people saw the bruises and heard the commotion... But he also saved MM from a psychiatric hospital in 1961, helped her by her last/only home in 1962, and he claimed her body when no one else did and took care of all the funeral arrangements and burial. Sometimes love is complicated.

[@thebookershowify]

+James Wagner Right on the money!!!! Spot on.

leatherface87 he must have a HUGE regrets to send her the roses... but at least, he care of her.. 😢

[@damaloca22lo32]

Frank Ávila mm said to dmaggio if she dies first than him he send roses each week at hers grave. it was a dmaggio promise make to MM when they were married. (sorry about my bad english hope u understand)

[@tyrantjesus4005]

And you should check out his last words

[@baberina1]

he was not a bad father nor abuser. Marilyn was a whore who couldn't get enough. and his first wife played games with him, and yes he really and truly loved her till the day he died.

[@LoquaciousByNature]

It's a shame Marilyn hadn't lived to remarry Joe. I think the second time around for both of them would've worked.

[@charlottebruce979]

If he had help with his violent streak and jealous tendencies it may have worked. I'm a great believer that people can change if they work on themselves.

[@JustBeKind67]

Apparently they were going to remarry but the Kennedys fked it up by killing her....she even had picked out her dress :(. Maybe Joe, learned Marilyn doesn’t put up with abuse...he used to hit her.

[@blackswiftie2860]

🌹 *I Think so too* 🌹

[@amalHope3]

I deeply respect Joe Dimaggio. he was probably the only person who loved Marilyn and cared for her and did not use her to make fame and fortune. RIP Joe

[@gakbar7225]

So true ...

[@mac_-mtlmcal]

He abused and tortured that poor woman physically and psychologically. He tried to control her career, read all her fan mail and hated her kissing other men in films. He tried to break into her house after they divorced. Joe Dimaggio was truly an awful human being, he never really loved Marilyn, he just wanted to control her. How can you do all of those horrible things to someone that you love?

[@stephemmick1496]

@@mac_-mtlmcal True, he was a jerk, but then he was the only one who rescued her from the mental hospital (where she could have languished for a long time--no patient rights back then) and they went to Florida where they had a good time and he did apologize for what he did. They both matured and I believe they were on the path to get married again, there was a letter of Marilyns' stating such. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gWPWaIBvo5uZmZI

[@bradleach3382]

I'm not sure that I could say DiMaggio was the greatest player that ever stepped foot on a diamond, but I'm a hundred percent sure I could say is in the top five of all time.R.I.P. JOE🙏🇺🇸🍷

[@mayhemjr.803]

As a kid me and my mom were shopping in the Laurel Village section of San Mateo, Ca. As we both got out of the car my mom looked straight behind me and " Hey there's Joe Dimaggio" . By the time I turned around Mr. Coffee was gone. Ducked into some store. The closest I ever got to greatness at age 10😒

[@bm9633]

I am a filipino, and i used to sing the song "mrs robinson" by Paul simon and Art Garfunkel but i didn't know that J Di was a baseball player until i watched this video. Now it 's really good to sing even more the mrs robinson song. And i will always remember Joe D. The legend. And one of american icon.

[@Msflamingo-wl4qo]

My Favorite Player of All Time!! He also married my fave Glamour Girl, Marilyn. They were truly in love. Marilyn's Studio forced her to get divorced. After her untimely death, Joe sent flowers to her final resting place for years. Now together forever in Heaven. 💖💖 I LOVE THEM 😇😇

[@charlottebruce979]

There is no evidence the studio made them divorce he had a temper in his youth and hit her so she filed for divorce.

[@felixtendorf4206]

@@charlottebruce979 there’s also no credible evidence to suggest he ever hit her either. He wasn’t the greatest man ever, but he certainly was no asshole either. He was a gentleman that represented the old America so can all of the diehard MM fans stop with staining his legacy simply because you’re all pissed of she died so young. MM was a beautiful soul that deserved so much more by the industry and the time she lived in. But her passing wasn’t Joes fault. Him blaming himself for a lot is enough

I don't know about that era as I wasn't born but when I see all the clips I feel to me this man really cared about MM and actions speak loader than words as he was there for her when needed when all the pigeons took flight so to speak right down to her death he took care of even sending flowers 💐 to her tomb 3 times a week for 20 years who does that if they don t care???. I feel they had a rocky start as she was a icon and had alot of male attention which did make him jealous and they had fights but he did change and as their history said also were to get back together...guess they are together now hope they both RIP.

Look at her lack in the look Look how insecure it was and needed affection But once the powerful silenced the woman who was the greatest symbol in the world. She brought so much joy, she was exploited and there was no justice to condemn those who killed the most beautiful woman in the world. Very unfair! The only man who love Marilyn Monroe Joe DiMaggio that love until after death and its end of life

[@fatcatchet]

I never ever ever heard that he beet her anywhere....I heard he was jealous..He married her and suddenly did not understand why she didn't cook macaroni for him...I know he had his friends that would buy him dinner every where he went and he expected it..I know he was not so friendly with Micky Mantle and the other players(kind of like Jordan was). He was protective of his image and hated to see the players today making so much more...I read many negative things about him...Most could be attributed to the fact that he probably had a big ego and not a very likable personality. People liked Micky Mantle so when he was a cruel drunk he was defended..I don't think Joe was likable..But I don't believe he beat that woman. He really was the only one who loved her. Everyone else used her..

[@famguy218]

Stephen Braccioforte Weren't they going to get re-married before she died?

[@tomblinzig7307]

famguy218 yes.

[@musicaltheatergeek79]

He beat her after the famous skirt blowing scene was filmed in NYC.

[@saramurphy3091]

There are eyewitnesses to some abuse, bruises etc in NYC and other times. I believe he loved her but was a man of an era where that happened too frequently. When he lost her because of it, I think he deeply regretted his behavior. He was a good friend to her after her divorce from Arthur Miller and her family put him in charge of her funeral and burial as next of kin. She was too messed up at the end to make any decisions about remarriage and think she was pretty jaded about men and marriage, but loved him and was close to him before she died. He blamed Robert Kennedy and Frank Sinatra for introducing her to the Kennedys for the shape she was in at the time of her death.
