| Publisher Description: Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. During World War II, American professional baseball players were trying to keep spirits high by doing what they did best -- hit, field and play ball to entertain fans worldwide. The sense of normalcy baseball provided in a world seemingly gone mad promoted patriotism and pride among soldiers overseas and their families back home. This book explores the sport of baseball over the course of World War II and highlights the Hall of Fame players and managers who were building their impressive careers during the era. Project Webster represents a new publishing paradigm, allowing disparate content sources to be curated into cohesive, relevant, and informative books. To date, this content has been curated from Wikipedia articles and images under Creative Commons licensing, although as Project Webster continues to increase in scope and dimension, more licensed and public domain content is being added. We believe books such as this represent a new and exciting lexicon in the sharing of human knowledge. |
