Player Biographies
Having researched wartime baseball for more than a decade, I have
accumulated a vast amount of information on many of the men who
served with the military and played baseball in some capacity. I
have decided that the best way to display this information is in an
alphabetic format by player name.
You will find players of all calibres here - major leaguers, minor
leaguers, college players, high school players and sandlot
ballplayers. But they all have one thing in common - they love
baseball and, somehow, found time to play ball while serving with
the military.
If you are looking for information on a particular player then let
me know and I will gladly see what I have.
