Let Us Now Praise the Little Professor
By George Weigel
Posted: Wednesday, June 17, 2009

In another summer of baseball's steroid-driven discontent -- A-Rod scandals, Manny's suspension, Clemens's denials, etc., -- it's worth remembering a different era in the pastime, the virtues of which were embodied by the other DiMaggio: Dom, the Little Professor, kid brother of Joltin' Joe, the Yankee Clipper.

A few days after the 2008 election, I was walking toward the Largo Argentina on a cool, clear Roman evening, when I noticed a magazine kiosk and wandered over to have a look. Every one of them featured a glowing portrait of Barrack Obama, photographed in side- or quarter-profile and looking up with a calm, secure gaze – not altogether unlike like Jim Caviezel’s Jesus at the end of The Passion of the Christ, on the morning of the Resurrection.
