Big league baseball would seem to have been a hard sell in 1942. Uncle Sam needed men, millions of them, including those in the age range of most big league baseball players. But after a "green light" from President Roosevelt, major league baseball played on in 1942 as it would throughout the war. It turned out to be an extraordinary season, too, spiced by a St. Louis Cardinal team that stunned the baseball world by winning the World Series. The 1942 season would be overshadowed by war, though, with many people wondering whether it was really all right for seemingly healthy men to play a game and earn more money than the thousands of young Americans whose lives were at risk as they fought the Germans and Japanese abroad. In "Season of '42, " veteran sportswriter Jack Cavanaugh looks at this historic baseball season, how it was shaped and affected by the war and what it meant to America.
