After baseball DiMaggio lent his name to the Mr. Coffee product and Ted Williams promoted various fishing-related merchandise sold by Sears-Roebuck. Despite marrying attractive women (DiMaggio married two move stars. One of Williams' three wives was a Miss Vermont and a Vogue magazine model) their treatment of women was condescending at best and overtly hostile at worst. (For example, DiMaggio's wondrous 56-game hitting streak does not include the number of times he hit his wife, Marilyn Monroe). [DiMaggio] had countless one night stands throughout his career and beyond. He loved being seen-and often was-with the most beautiful women in America. He took advantage of his situation with reckless abandon. He used them and left them. (Source: online review of Richard Ben Cramer's Joe DiMaggio, The Hero’s Life, 2013) [Williams] would say: "WOMEN?" and then he'd grab his crotch. "ALL THEY WANT IS WHAT I GOT RIGHT HERE." (Source: Richard Ben Cramer in a biographical sketch of Ted Williams in Esquire Magazine, June 1986)
