In Paul Simon’s obituary for DiMaggio in the New York Times, Simon explained that the reference was meant as a sincere tribute to DiMaggio’s unpretentious heroic stature, in a time when heroes were in short supply. Simon subsequently performed “Mrs. Robinson” at Yankee Stadium in DiMaggio’s honor the month after his death.
