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.

NASHUA, New Hampshire - A woman accused of running down and killing a man with her car after a Red Sox-Yankees argument in a bar never hit her brakes as she accelerated toward the small group he was in.
Authorities won't describe the argument beforehand, but witnesses said it heated up when the woman identified herself as a New York Yankees fan. Like the rest of New Hampshire, Nashua, 45 miles northwest of Boston, is Red Sox country.
