Default Re: WWI/The Great War

I'm aware that Shoeless Joe Jackson and his teammate, Lefty Williams were called into service in the middle of the 1918 season. They both worked in the shipyards and played ball in the military. Evidentially, their "military service" was frowned upon by some, including their boss, Charles Comiskey.
