Joe DiMaggio won two batting championships, hitting .381 in 1939 and .352 in 1940. Joe was the third New York Yankees player to win a batting title, behind Babe Ruth, .378 in 1924, and Lou Gehrig, .363 in 1934, and the first two win it more than once.
Joe DiMaggio won three Most Valuable Player Awards. He was the first New York Yankees player to win it more than once after he captured his second MVP in 1941, and when he won again in 1947, he was the first Yankee to win it three times.
