November 6, 1938, was a day of a first in baseball, even though the MLB season was long done. The very famous Joe DiMaggio of the New York Yankees finally got to play a game where his less-remembered brothers, Vince and Dom, were on his team. The siblings teamed up in a West Coast charity exhibition made of All-Stars from professional teams. The group of Dom DiMaggio, Joe DiMaggio, and brother Vince DiMaggio would also later get together in 1956 at Wrigley Field, Los Angeles, for a Pacific Coast League Old-Timers’ game.
