What was the last year of Joe DiMaggio's career?

The last year of Joe DiMaggio's career was 1951.

DiMaggio spent his entire 13-season Major League Baseball career with the New York Yankees. His final playing season was 1951, when he helped New York win the American League pennant and World Series. That season also marked the beginning of Mickey Mantle's Yankees career, creating a famous changing-of-the-guard moment.

DiMaggio was 36 during the 1951 season and struggled with injuries and a reduced level of performance. After the season, he announced his retirement on December 11, 1951, at age 37. He had played his final major-league game on September 30.

His career totals included a .325 batting average, 2,214 hits, 361 home runs, and 1,537 runs batted in. He is especially remembered for his 56-game hitting streak in 1941, still the longest in MLB history. The year 1951 refers to his final season as a player, not his later work as a coach and executive.
