Stan Musial with stats adjusted to reflect the 1945 season spent in the Navy.
And Pee Wee Reese after adding in 3 averaged seasons spent in the armed forces.
Reese would go over 1,000 RBI with these figures added in. Truth be told, I'm a little surprised by how good his numbers were for a shortstop in his era. He was quite productive with the bat.
In fact, Reese has the 10th highest WAR of true career shortstops (and I define true career shortstops meaning that at least 75% of the games played were at shortstop).
10th all-time of 108 qualifying shortstops between 1901 and 2014.
