With hindsight, the Bums should have their catcher work on catching the ball from here on to the World Series.

The only good thing about the war is that thousands of Americans have discovered Trommers White Label Beer !

Wasn’t 1941 also the year Ted Williams hit .406?

pretty good for Joltin’ Joe.....
but just wait until Ted Williams ends the season with a .406 batting average!!
I predict that no one will ever do either feat again (bat .400 or hit in 56+ games straight)

.... and while this is nothing like a 56 game hitting streak or like batting .406 for the season, the Ted Williams performance in the 1941 All Star Game was one for the ages:
