Joe is immortalized in the famous [[Simon and Garfunkel]] song ''Mrs. Robinson''.

He holds the all-time record of the fewest strikeouts for a home run hitter, striking out only about once for every home run that he hit and only once per 18.5 at-bats.  He also led the Yankees to many pennant and nine [[World Series]] championships during his career.
