The story of American baseball during World War II, both the professional players who left to join the war effort including Joe DiMaggio, Ted Williams, and Hank Greenberg, and the struggle to keep the game going on the home front by players including Pete Gray, a one-armed outfielder who played with the Browns, overcame the odds and became a shining example of baseball on the home front. Klima shows how baseball helped America win the war, and how baseball was shaped into the game it is today.
