Baseball Enlists
WAR SLOWLY REACHED OUT and gathered baseball into its deadly grasp. 

First, in 1940, major league players began registering for the military draft. Then, in the spring of 1941, the player exodus began. Hank Greenberg, the American League's Most Valuable Player in 1940, received his call-up notice. Seven months later, war violently jumped to the Pacific, set Pearl Harbor aflame, and imperiled the approaching baseball season.
