He is an example of a truly enlightened military intellectual who used his considerable talents in the service of his country. His life story now serves as an inspiration to others who are challenged with the task of resolving complex domestic and foreign policy issues. He is also one of my heroes as well as a second cousin—sharing our Polish great grandmother, Katarzyna Pytlic, the mother of Anna Pytlic Splitt, my paternal .grandmother.

  • Baseball: My Dreams and Memories
    Baseball: My Dreams and Memories By Frank G. Splitt February 12, 2021 Introduction – Reading and writing a review of Tyler Kepner's book, K: A History of Baseball in Ten Pitches, stirred up many baseball related memories in my life—prompting me to begin writing about my recollections in the spring of 2019.1 This memoir builds on these recollections and so reveals a story worth the telling of baseball’s impact on my life story of 90 years. Early Years – Many pictures from the late 1930s and early 1940s, show me holding and/or throwing a ball of one kind or another. This brief history is focused on pitching a baseball with a circumference of 9- inches as opposed to a 16-inch ‘Chicago’ softball—that’s another story. In the mid-1920s my father played semipro baseball for Chicago Curtain Supply, loved the game and the Chicago Cubs. He introduced me to Cubs baseball as a 7-year old at a game during the summer of 1938. I still have a vivid memory of sitting in the crowded right-field bleachers when my dad left to get a beer (or two). After what seemed to be forever, I became frightened—thinking I was abandoned. I was incredibly relieved when he returned and with a soda for me. At that early age, I really did not understand the game or appreciate the fact that the Cubs had a championship team that would win the National League pennant and go on to play the New York Yankees in the World Series.

To gather this information, I’ve read hundreds of books, scanned thousands of pages of newspapers and magazines and interviewed many veterans. Not surprisingly, I’ve collected a lot of stories that haven’t had a “fit” in my newsletters or websites. I guess they would come under the category of funny or amusing, and certainly anecdotal. Anyway, I didn’t know what to do with them. And there was the birth of what you see After the release of the February 2018 before you. A Baseball in Wartime newsletter, my dear friend Bill Swank Newsletter that dares to look at the from San Diego, said that it must be lighter side of the game during World difficult to come up with a new theme War II.

  • 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.
