Pearl Harbor

As we approach the 80th anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor we did a little research about Negro League players who served in WWII.

Many of the stars of the Negro Leagues had to put their baseball careers on hold while they honorably served. 119 Negro Leaguers served during WWII according to https://nlbm.mlblogs.com/negro-leagues-players-played-major-role-in-world-war-ii-4bc5cb125b7f
