Who are the 70...
Major Leaguers who served in wartime that are being honored via the USS Cooperstown?
My googling skills, evidently, are not up to this particular search. Thanks .

I count 72 on the list, and since the list is also for those who served during wartime, which I believe are the individuals being honored, who are the two veterans left out?

Though not a hall of famer, I think Larry French is interesting. He was a good pitcher, though probalby pretty much done by the time he was called into service in 1942. He became a career sailor and saw action in WWII and Korea.

I figured it out when checking out the list closer. Both Larry McPhail and Ted Williams served during two separate wars, so they are on the list twice.
