One of the baseball DiMaggios you may have missed

One of the regular characters on the Jack Benny radio show was Mr. Kitzel, who had a wonderful, heavy Yiddish accent.

Kitzel: I have a cousin on Fisherman's wharf.

Benny: What's his name?

Kitzel: DiMaggio

Benny: Which one of the DiMaggios is your cousin: Joe, Vincent, or Dominic?

Kitzel: Morris. You know, he plays baseball with the San Fransisco Schlemiels.
