7x10" vol.4 no.1 issue of "The Yomiuri Sport" w/84 pages and cover photo of DiMaggio in Yankee uniform shaking hands w/Giants player Tetsuharu Kawakami. DiMaggio has boldly signed his jersey w/blue felt tip pen. Contents are mainly printed in Japanese and issue includes pages 37-44 printed in bluetone featuring DiMaggio. Pages 21, 23, 46, and 48-50 also have DiMaggio photos. Issue is worn w/handling creases to covers and some scattered dust soiling. Overall VG but nice bold DiMaggio signature. Limited distribution, as published for the Japanese market. Nicely designed. DiMaggio's ties w/Japan included the Yankees star honeymooning there w/Marilyn Monroe in 1954. Likely a unique signed DiMaggio item. From the Richard Merkin Collection and comes with Hake's COA and JSA LOA.
