How many World Series rings does Joe DiMaggio have?
Joe DiMaggio played on nine World Series winning New York Yankee teams (36-39, 41, 47, 49-51). The Yankees lost to St. Louis in the 1942 World Series, the only DiMaggio team to lose a World Series. DiMaggio's World Series stats weren't quite up to his regular season performances. He hit only .273 in 51 World Series games with 8 HRs and 30 RBIs.
But Since the question asks how many rings Joe DiMaggio has, the answer gets a bit complicated, eight of his nine rings were stolen in the 1960's from his Lexington Hotel room, the only remaining ring was his 1936 rookie year World Series ring. However, at Mr. DiMaggio's final appearance (September 1998) at Yankee Stadium, George Steinbrenner presented Joltin' Joe with 8 exact replicas of his missing rings.

This does not necessarily mean that two signatures will sell for less than one, but in most cases it does, or at least not the full value of the two signatures added up.

What baseball player did Doris Day have an affair with?
I have read Day's autobiography and she flatly denies an affair with Dogers player Maury Wills. My one impression after reading her book is that Day is not a liar. She was completely honest about all, even though it may have been contrary to her public image. There is no sense writing a book like this unless the writer is honest and truthful. Day was on all counts. If she denies an affair with Wills than you can bank on it.
As for Mickey Mantle, Day has refused to comment. If she was involved with Mantle, however briefly, it most certainly was a momentary lapse in judgement on her part. Mantle's comments referring to Day are disgusting and rude and reveal him as a womanizing jerk without an ounce of class.
