Dom DiMaggio, the youngest of the three famous baseball-playing brothers, has died at the age of 92.

Dom's middle sibling Joe is one of the sport's legends whose 56-game hitting streak is a record that still stands.

A seven-time All Star himself, Dom still holds the record for the longest hitting streak for the Boston Red Sox - 34 games in the 1949 season.

Vince, the oldest DiMaggio brother, also played for five Major League teams. All three were centre-fielders.

Vince died aged 74 in 1986, while Hall of Famer Joe, a former husband of Marilyn Monroe, died in 1999 at the age of 84.
