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.

  • The Legend of Big Klu Still Lives Large
    Fifty years later: The legend of Big Klu still lives large By Paul Ladewski Staff Writer Posted June 9, 2009 The area once referred to as Argo is located eight miles west of old Comiskey Park, a decidedly blue‐collar town known for a corn milling and processing plant that is among the largest of its kind. As the barely 10,000 residents would tell you, it has the odor to prove it, too. But to many Chicago baseball fans, especially those on the South Side, the location is known for something of far greater significance. It also was home to Ted Kluszewski, the 6‐foot‐ 2, 225‐pound mountain of a man with the famous 15‐inch biceps, whose legend in White Sox history will live even longer than the home runs he hit decades ago. “I remember the first time that I saw Ted in those cut‐off sleeves," former White Sox pitcher Billy Pierce still recalls his trademark style nearly a half century later. "They were good‐sized. He was a big man. A big man." Says Bill "Moose" Skowron, the former White Sox and New York Yankees first baseman who crossed paths with Big Klu many times in their careers. "Everybody knows Ted could hit a baseball. What some people don't know is that he was a helluva first baseman and a helluva nice guy, too. And he always played in those short‐sleeve shirts. He was built like a rock, you know." How can the South Side of Chicago ever forget? There Kluszewski will forever be remembered as one of the greatest Brinks jobs in White Sox history, a local boy who made very, very good one unforgettable season.

  • University Microfilms
    INFORMATION TO USERS This dissertation was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will fin d a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

  • The Quandary of Allied Logistics from D-Day to the Rhine
    THE QUANDARY OF ALLIED LOGISTICS FROM D-DAY TO THE RHINE By Parker Andrew Roberson November, 2018 Director: Dr. Wade G. Dudley Program in American History, Department of History This thesis analyzes the Allied campaign in Europe from the D-Day landings to the crossing of the Rhine to argue that, had American and British forces given the port of Antwerp priority over Operation Market Garden, the war may have ended sooner. This study analyzes the logistical system and the strategic decisions of the Allied forces in order to explore the possibility of a shortened European campaign. Three overall ideas are covered: logistics and the broad-front strategy, the importance of ports to military campaigns, and the consequences of the decisions of the Allied commanders at Antwerp. The analysis of these points will enforce the theory that, had Antwerp been given priority, the war in Europe may have ended sooner.
