Joe Dimaggio's Personal Used Irons, Woods & Putter in Full Size Bag w/Bag Tag
This unique set of museum-grade Ping golf clubs were originally owned and used by Yankee legend Joe DiMaggio and are presented here from The Babe Zaharias Foundation. They
were given to a friend of the foundation, Sebastian “Buster’ Agliano, a local Florida legend who like Joe and his family owned and
operated a seafood business for over a hundred years. These two gentlemen got along famously reliving
their childhood days in the fish industry. It was Joe who suggested to Buster to donate his old clubs as
some others were. Joe then slapped his friend on the back and said, “I’ve got some better ones in the
trunk of my car”.
This set of Joe DiMaggio’s clubs consist of Ping Karsten II 1-3-4-5 Woods, Ping Karsten II 3-SW Iron set
and his Bel-Air 5 stamped putter that Joe bought at a pro shop that had a barrel full of used putters.
Over the years Hal Shaw of The Babe Zaharias Foundation had given Buster numerous golf lessons. They shared many laughs and golf stories about
this crazy game. In the late 90s after taking a lesson, Buster asked Shaw to stop by his car and he hands me
DiMaggio’s set of clubs and filled me in on how he acquired them, and it was his desire to help the
funding of The Babe Zaharias Foundation. A signed letter of provenance from the Babe Zaharias Foundation comes with this lot. 34 1/2" - 43"
