THE ONLY MAN TO EVER GIVE JOE DIMAGGIO A SHOWER..................... BASEBALLS ALL-TIME HIT KING PETE ROSE WAS BORN ON THIS DAY- APRIL 14, 1941. PETE MADE A TOUR OF VIETNAM TO ENTERTAIN THE SOLDIERS WITH BASEBALL LEGEND JOE DIMAGGIO IN 1967. THEY WERE HOUSED IN THE MIDDLE OF VERY HUMID JUNGLES AND THE WEATHER GOT EXTREMELY HOT THERE. ONE NIGHT, JOE DIMAGGIO TOLD PETE HED LIKE A SHOWER. THE TWO WENT OUTSIDE TOGETHER, AND AS JOE STOOD UNDER THE CHEAP HANDMADE SHOWER, PETE POURED BUCKETS OF WATER THROUGH A SIEVE DOWN ON DIMAGGIO. TO THIS DAY, PETE ROSE LIKES TO BRAG THAT HE WAS THE ONLY MAN TO EVER GIVE JOE DIMAGGIO A SHOWER.
