Bob Feller enlisted in the Navy on Dec 8, 1941, becoming the first Major League Baseball player to do so following the Attack on Pearl Harbor the day before. Feller served aboard the USS Alabama, and missed four seasons during his service in World War II, being decorated with five campaign ribbons and eight battle stars (the USS Alabama itself, was awarded nine battle stars). |
