It’s amazing that Joe DiMaggio made the cover of TIME magazine (July 13, 1936) just three months into his Yankees career, but what’s up with that swing?

I’m guessing that’s a pose and that the imaginary ball would’ve been crushed in the direction his left foot is pointed. I really have no idea how this is a menacing swing and not a brutal whiff.

A few of these issues are available on eBay for $125-$300.
