I have many service baseball uniforms and jerseys from Marines, Army, Army Air Forces, Navy and Coast Guard teams from pre-war, WWII and into the 1950s along with equipment, ephemera and and an extensive vintage photograph collection.
With more than 500 major leaguers and 3,000 minor leaguers serving during the war, many of them found their ways onto unit teams at one point during the war.
