Riassunto

Like the rest of society, major league baseball felt the impact of America's involvement in World War II reverberate through its ranks. Virtually every player of the game was affected in one way or another: some were called to service and lost valuable years of playing time, while others received their first shot at the big leagues as they were called upon to fill the vacant positions.
Junior Thompson, Ernie Koy, Joe Nuxhall, Harry Gumbert, Pinky May, Dario Lodigiani, Boo Ferriss, Buddy Lewis, Goody Rosen, Mace Brown, Harry Danning, Johnny Pesky, Warren Sandel, Harry Craft, Terry Moore, Dick Bartell, Jimmy Bloodworth, and members of the 1942 St. Louis Cardinals talk about baseball during the war years, their careers, the players they played against, and baseball as it is today.
