I believe that would that be Joe DiMaggio who would have received $10,000 from Heintz 57 if he would have extended his hitting streak one more game.

I've heard this before, but also recall that DiMaggio later said there was no official deal.

I've heard that DiMaggio later said that Heinz was just talking about - there was never a formal deal. That's why I said "reportedly" in the question. That was a lot of money in those days. Probably more than Joe's salary. |
