As a Yankees fan I was aware of the great seasons Spud Chandler had during the wartime years.
A name I had not even heard of until I just did some research for an item was Claude Passeau of the Cubs. From 1940-45 he won 100 games, went to several All-Star games and pitched a one-hit shutout in the 1945 World Series against the Tigers (who by then had gotten Hank Greenberg back), only giving up a 2nd inning single to Rudy York. I'm sure many of you guys have heard of him, but it humbled me a bit that a guy like this with several significant years and achievements had gone completely under my radar for so long. Wartime era or not.
