  • Big Leaguers in the ETO
    Welcome to the first edition of the Baseball in Wartime Newsletter for 2015. We’re starting the year with a rather over ambitious project—a record of major leaguers who served in the European Theater during World War II. The list includes 147 major league players, one manager, three coaches, four umpires, a broadcaster and 18 Negro League players. For the majority of these, I have included brief biographical sketches of their time in Europe which I hope you will enjoy. Future issues of the newsletter will look at players who served in the Pacific, the Mediterranean, the Atlantic and the United States. Researching WWII baseball is, and always will be, an ongoing project for me. If you can add any names to this list of players who served in Europe I would be very pleased to hear from you. I’d like to thank Ken Sulik for his assistance with information for this project. Big Leaguers in the ETO ore than 500 major league players Infantry Regiment, along with the 422nd, were swapped flannels for military uniforms encircled by enemy forces and cut off from the during World War II, and stars like Joe remainder of the 106th Infantry Division in the vicinity DiMaggio, Ted Williams and Stan Musial of Schonberg, Belgium. The two Regiments (6,000 M troops) surrendered to the Germans on December served their nation off the diamond. This issue of the Baseball in Wartime Newsletter looks at those who 19, 1944, in one of the largest mass surrenders in served in the European Theater, including no less American military history.

  • Baseball in Wartime Newsletter Vol 7 No 39 September/October 2015
    Issue 39 Sep/Oct 2015 70th Anniversary of the 1945 ETO World Series www.baseballinwartime.com Baseball in Wartime Newsletter No. 39 Sep/Oct 2015 On the 70th anniversary of the ETO World Series, I wanted to produce the most detailed account of this significant event. Significant because it was the biggest baseball event in Europe during the war years, but also because it was an opportunity for white and African-American players to play alongside, and against, each other. Two years before Jackie Robinson graced the major league diamonds of National League teams in the United States, Negro Leaguers Willard Brown and Leon Day played alongside major leaguers in France and Germany. Furthermore, this integrated team went on to play another integrated team in Italy, as if that were the way baseball was always played. These teams were pioneers of the way baseball is played today, and in trying to produce a highly detailed account, I soon found I couldn’t do it before the month of September had been and gone. Therefore, this combined September-October issue is the result of many weeks of detailed research. I hope you enjoy! Play Ball! In September 1945, just four months after the end of the war in Europe and days after the defeat of Japan in the Pacific, the American armed forces staged a spectacular contest to see who would be crowned baseball champions of the European Theater. During the summer months of 1945, baseball was used by the United States military to occupy the spare time of troops who were eager to get home to their loved ones or otherwise awaiting redeployment to the Pacific.
