Cool WWII photo
A friend of mine's father in law was football hall of famer Bullet Bill Dudley. He was stationed in Saipan in World War II and when the base team heard about him, he was recruited as a utility player.
Quite a bit of big league talent on that team. Story posted subsequently for those interested.
