The Uncertainty of Peace Baseball Enlists
HARRY O'NEILL OF THE A'S, Elmer Gedeon of the Senators, and over 40 minor league players died in the war. Others, injured, out of shape, or just older, faced an uncertain future. 

Peace unsettled baseball as profoundly as war. New faces fought to stay in the lineup. Aging stars struggled to recover their pre-war prowess. Veterans, complete with a new perspective on life, asked hard questions about wages and working conditions.
