"I am now stationed in China, helping to bring this war to a speedy, successful conclusion, so that when boys like yourself grow up, you can play baseball instead of going to war"
Wow. That is a really great letter and by far the best Hank Greenberg memorabilia I have ever seen on this board.

This is my favorite thread, please post more. Have you wondered why organized unit sports were more prevalent in WW1 (meaning units in theater sponsored more championship games) while the sports/war connectin for WW2 is more about fundraising on the home front?
KJJAVIC has a beautiful unit football trophy from WW1, I'll see if I can get him to post a picture

WWI trophy
Here is a trophy I own that was awarded by the YMCA to a Stevedores baseball team, that was undefeated in an AEF baseball tournament in Paris in 1918.

War & Ball...
BJ - You mentioned Gabby and the war, so I thought I would share this T206 that shows what year Gabby left ball and returned... (1918 - Army) - The reverse of the T206 reads left to right... (Some ole time collector seem to write Gabby's career from beginning to end starting with Hopkinsville, Ky. in 1903 and ending in St. Louis in 1938.
