R.I.P.: Dom DiMaggio

Dom DiMaggio, a seven-time All-Star for the Red Sox and the youngest of the three DiMaggio brothers who played in the Major Leagues, died Friday at age 92 at his home in Marion, Massachusetts.
Known as the "Little Professor" because of his eyeglasses and his 5-foot-9, 168-pound frame, DiMaggio played for the Red Sox for 11 seasons from 1940-53, missing three seasons while serving in the Navy in World War II.
Dom was a center fielder, as were his brothers Joe, a Hall of Famer for the Yankees from 1936-51, and Vince, who played for five National League teams from 1937-46. And like his brother Joe, who hit in a Major League-record 56 games in 1941, Dom had an impressive hitting streak of his own, hitting in 34 consecutive games -- a Boston club record that still stands -- in 1949.
The Red Sox will pay tribute to DiMaggio and observe a moment of silence prior to Friday night's game at Fenway Park against the Tampa Bay Rays.

Marilyn Monroe Sex Tape

I guess most sex tapes eventually see the light of day, even if it is a million years later. A video featuring Marilyn Monroe giving oral to an unidentified dude was just sold to a New York businessman for $1.5 million.
The Post reports that the 15-minute video shot on 16mm film is from the 50s. When the video was discovered in the 60s, J. Edgar Hoover tried to prove the man in the movie was either John F or Robert Kennedy.
The silent film shows Marilyn kneeling in front of a man and performing oral on him. The dude's face is never in the shot. Marilyn also never looks up at the camera, so it's not known whether or not she knew about being filmed.
The movie has been in the hands of the FBI for a while, but a copy was made. Joe DiMaggio offered to buy it for $25,000, but his offer was turned down.
Keya Morgan, the collector that got his hands on the tape, said, "You see instantly that it's Marilyn Monroe - she has the famous mole. She's smiling, she's very charming, she's very radiant, but she's known for being radiant. She moves away, and then it [the footage] stops." Keya said the tape will never be released to the public. The dude that bought it wants to keep it private and will lock it away.
