did Posnanski mention whether Dimaggio's reaction was real or not? I can't imagine they forced him to go out and do that (again), nor that he would have acquiesced if asked!
He actually brought that up in the book. You are correct, there’s no evidence that the DiMaggio dirt kick was also a re-creation. Pos agreed that there is no way anyone could have convinced DiMaggio to do that.
As I recall in one of the clips I’ve seen of that they make the point of saying it was the rare time that DiMaggio showed any emotion on the field! I’d hate to think it wasn’t even real!!
Crazy to think that both there is no actual clip of it and that they made the OFers recreate it!

Kind of like Wilt’s 100 point game.
