A in time to shine! 🌟 Joe DiMaggio and Jeff Conine, also known as Mr. Marlin, hit a GRAND SLAM back in 1997. Together, they celebrated the GRAND opening of the Visitor's Conine Clubhouse to serve as a "home away from home" for families of children staying at the hospital. Talk about a home-run hit for the patients and their families! ⚾️❤️
