Today in History - 1937

The Yankee Clipper, Joe DiMaggio, takes Ty Cobb's advice and switches from a 40 ounce to a 36 ounce bat. The result? His batting average went to .346 with a slugging percentage of .673 and earned the American League Home Run Champion of 1937. Not bad for his second year with the Yankees!
