A new book about one of the greatest baseball teams ever assembled. From the book's back matter:
"Over 500 major league and 4,000 minor league baseball players served in the Armed Forces during World War II. While some athletes served in combat, others entertained troops stateside with their specialized skills. At the Great Lakes Naval Training Station, baseball superstars Mickey Cochrane and Bob Feller led a highly talented group of Sailors--often referred to as the "17th Major League team"--to victories over numerous big league opponents on the station's baseball diamond. Amidst the chaos of war and life aboard the Navy's largest training station, for four years from 1942 to 1945, the Great Lakes baseball team featured 68 major leaguers, 18 major league all-stars and five future Baseball Hall of Fame members."
