I lusted after the various sports games advertised in the magazines until my mom finally relented and bought Strat-O-Matic Football for me in 1972. I got SOM’s baseball game a year later and I was hooked. I would get the new card set each year and attempt to play the in-progress season by moving the traded players around and turning ‘nameless player cards” into that year’s key rookies. I switched to APBA in the late ‘70’s because they started releasing some complete old season sets and the idea of playing with those really caught my fancy. Between then and the mid-nineties, I collected a lot of card sets.

  • Baseball in Wartime Newsletter Spring 2016
    Somewhere in England Baseball in the European Theater during 1943 Baseball European in the Baseball in Wartime Newsletter—Special Edition Vol. 8 No. 42 Spring 2016 Introduction I’m sure you’ve already noticed that this newsletter is a little different from previous editions. For some time now I’ve been planning on compiling a detailed history of the baseball season played by the US military in Britain in 1943. Why 1943? Well, apart from featuring two major events – an all-professional game in London and the 20-team ETO World Series - it was the only “stable” year for American servicemen in Europe. American military personnel began arriving in 1942, but their numbers were limited, movement was regular and no formal baseball leagues were in operation. In 1944, there were more servicemen in Britain than any other year, but with the invasion of mainland Europe in June, many units were either there for only a brief period of time or on the move to Europe in support of advancing troops. In 1945, the war in Europe came to an end in May, and while it’s true thousands of servicemen remained until at least the end of the summer, many units were shipping back home or to the Pacific immediately after the Nazi surrender. Therefore, 1943, was the only year in which a large number of units had arrived during the preceding winter or spring months and remained until at least the following year. One thing I should point out is that this is not a complete account of every game played by American servicemen during 1943.

  • The Babe Meers Story - 1St Cub to Enlist in WWII
    Working-Joe players answered their country’s call along with the stars- The Babe Meers Story - 1st Cub to enlist in WWII By George Castle CBM Special Correspondent Posted Monday, November 12, 2012 As we celebrate another Veterans’ Day, it’s heartwarming to see how Major League Baseball – and all other sports, for that matter – honor young and old veterans during the course of each game. Adm. Michael Mullen, the former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, was buoyed by these ceremonies, often televised overseas to service personnel in combat zones in Iraq and Afghanistan, when he visited U.S. Cellular Field in 2010. The nationwide respect for members of the Armed Forces is light years distant than what Mullen experienced while just commissioned out of Annapolis in 1968, during the height of the Vietnam War. Then, Mullen recalled, it was dicey to even be seen in public in uniform, given the raw feelings of opposition to the war. There was no such negativity about World War II. And in baseball, those who served on active duty, even at the cost of prime years of their career, were admired. In contrast, almost no major-leaguers served in the regular Armed Forces in Vietnam. Teams pulled strings and called in favors get them slots in the reserves or National Guard to prevent them from being lost for two to three years active duty, and certainly to keep them out of combat. A player might have to leave the team for several months at most summer duty, but most often a weekend here or there.
