Featured Article

During the second World War, American culture looked toward baseball as a repreive from the battles across both oceans. In the famous Green Light Letter, then-President Franklin Delano Roosevelt gave then-commissioner Kenesaw Mountain Landis the go-ahead to play baseball even though many of the players were called up into the Armed Services.

The classic comedy routine of Bud Abbott and Lou Costello, Who's On First?, harkens back to the late 1930s-early 1940s, shows the penetration of baseball into America's culture during the period. Players such as Dizzy Dean made their way into the routine, as did, of course, the third baseman, I Don't Know.
