NY Daily News reports that little Tommy Cruise used to stalk Joltin' Joe DiMaggio, more or less, perhaps with hope of getting the movie rights to tell the great slugger's story..

"He'd show up at baseball-signing shows and wait for Joe to come out," says the source. "One time, he waited outside a restaurant for him for three hours. [DiMaggio] called him 'a short little guy.' He didn't like it. He felt like he was stalking him."

Fact or fiction, this story strikes me as odd considering Cruise is the last guy I'd expect to be well into baseball and the last actor I'd cast as the Yankee Clipper. I don't know, maybe he sees himself as a spot-on Scooter Rizzuto or maybe I just don't know anything about Tom Cruise, sports fan.

Story found via entertainment gossip site TMZ, which also posts pics of Pink golfing and labels Peyton Manning the Anna Kournikova of the NFL, which is a pretty weird comparison.
