Dom DiMaggio funeral held at Mass. church

Boston Red Sox fans, family and friends paid their final respects to former team great Dom DiMaggio.

Teammate Johnny Pesky and former Red Sox CEO John Harrington were among those attending a funeral Mass at St. Paul Church in Wellesley on Monday.

Harrington said DiMaggio was dearly loved by former team owners Tom and Jean Yawkey.

DiMaggio's family says he died Friday with the Red Sox game playing in the background. He was 92.

The center fielder was the younger brother of Yankees Hall of Famer Joe, and played in the same outfield as Ted Williams, yet he had an outstanding 10-year career of his own.

He was known as the "Little Professor" because of his glasses, slight frame and intelligence. He was a lifetime .298 hitter and a seven-time All Star.
