英语词汇yankee clipper的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

Yankee Clipper. One of sport’s best-known nicknames, Yankee Clipper honors New York Yankee centerfielder Joe DiMaggio, one of baseball’s greatest players, who hit safely in 56 consecu- tive games, a record that still stands. The popular song “Joltin’ Joe DiMaggio” was written in his honor. DiMaggio was also called the Yankee Clipper both for the way he “clipped” the ball and for his grace as a fielder, moving as effortlessly as a clipper ship (or possibly the popular Yankee Clipper plane of the 1930s) across the field to make even the hard catches seem easy.
