| 0:00.0 | some of those letters you folks have sent it. Who sent the first one, Jack? Miss Elizabeth Goss of Malin, Texas, who writes and says, so many outfielders are injured as a result of crashing into the walls of ballpark, that I've often wondered why they don't use rubber padding on the walls. Seems to me it would cut way down on painful injuries. Well, that is very true, Jack. However, there is one ballpark that they have rubber paddings around the wall, and that is in Brooklyn. |
| 0:24.0 | To my knowledge, we don't have any in the American League. |
| 0:27.2 | However, we also have the gravel road there, which signifies, of course, we're getting pretty close to the wall. |
| 0:33.2 | And when that happens, while we generally pull up. |
| 0:35.2 | Thank you very much, Joe. |
| 0:36.6 | A letter now from Mr. Samuel Hart of Phoenix, Arizona, who writes, |
| 0:39.8 | when a player is on the road, does his team put the bill for all his expenses? |
| 0:44.2 | Well, they put the bill for quite a bit. |
| 0:47.1 | However, for our laundry and cleaning and the phone bills, |
| 0:50.4 | why we have to go for that ourselves. |
| 0:52.4 | I guess you don't make too many phone calls, then. |
| 0:54.5 | Not too many. |
| 0:56.3 | Mr. Joseph Brownlee of Rochester, New York, writes to you and says, |
| 1:00.4 | I read in the papers that you're starting a new television show. |
| 1:03.4 | Is it true? |
| 1:04.3 | Yes, as a matter of fact, my first television show just went on a few hours ago on NBC. |
| 1:10.6 | And I got a big kick out of doing it, Jack, |
| 1:12.7 | and I guess I'll get a bigger kick maybe as the time goes by. |
| 1:16.5 | Yes, indeed. |
| 1:17.2 | And as a matter of fact, your show will be on every Saturday from now on, |
| 1:20.4 | 5.30 in the afternoon for a long time, sponsored by Lionel Trains. |
| 1:25.0 | Well, I'll take care of our letter answering session for this week, but Joe will continue to answer the most interesting letters from our listeners on future programs. And so, if you have a question, you'd like to ask Joe DiMaggio, send your letter to Joe DiMaggio, care of NBC, 30, Rockefeller Plaza, New York City. Well, I always enjoy answering some of those letters, Jack, and I'd like to thank everyone |
