Baseball was with many of them that fought. My father was in the Navy during WWII and he often told stories about listening to some of the great moments in the game from the ship's system. I loved to hear the stories of Johnny Vandemeer's back to back in '39 and even of "Little" Eddie Gaidel with the Browns. Baseball was a break away from the horros of war. To all of them (the ones that never returned and those that came back), a very heart felt "Thank you" is the least I can say. I love to talk baseball and history and when those two come together in a Veteran; let the beer be cold, the sky be clear and hold all of my calls!
