Baseball in World War II

Back in 2010, I came across an excellent site for you baseball fans and World War II folk. Just like the whole country, World War II had a huge impact on the home front. Many baseball players went off to war and some didn't come back.

Gary Bedingfield has a site about the war and baseball at http://www.baseballinwartime.com. Well worth a look and check out his blog also.

During the war, 139 professional baseball players died, all but two from the minor leagues.

the site features all sixteen MLB teams and their players. On January 31, 2010, he did the Chicago Cubs (their last visit to the World Series was 1945).
