Let’s hope that he was a grower and not a shower or Marilyn Monroe would have been very disappointed. A full-frontal nude of baseball great Joe DiMaggio, showering after a game, is currently on view in the exhibition Hunted and Gathered at the gallery Modernism in San Francisco. The photograph, which was taken around 1940, reveals the naked Yankee slugger soaking wet and grinning happily. It is part of a collection of quirky, anonymous photographs assembled by Robert Flynn Johnson, curator emeritus of the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco. When asked where he got the photo, Johnson joked, "I have friends in low places."
